Residents of a rural Australian town hoping to protect the earth and their wallets have voted to ban the sale of bottled water, the first community in the country — and possibly the world — to take such a drastic step in the growing backlash against the industry.

    • This is a big step. Once people go without them, they'll realize they never really needed them. Plus, we waste a lot of plastic and cutting back on bottles is the first step. Go Oz!

    • Bottled water should be phased out all together in its current form through recycling initiatives and only produced and distributed in biodegradable/recyclable containers for emergency relief efforts only. Considering all the emergency relief efforts yet to arise, I understand that bottled water must be less harmful in general to natural environments because there is a coming great need.
