This morning, SMH Environment ran an article announcing that the Southern Highlands village of Bundanoon is poised to become the first town in Australia, and quite possibly the world, to ban commercially bottled water.
Jon Dee, Director of the environment group Do Something!, says the campaign is similar to the decision to ban plastic bags in Coles Bay, Tasmania, in 2003.
“The community reaction in Coles Bay was very good, and I hope that if people do see the benefits of having free filtered-water fountains in Bundanoon, then they will go for the alternative.”
Gruden, a long-standing supporter of the Do Something! environment group, frequently undertakes pro bono work for many of the Do Something! websites, including The Bottled Water Alliance, Ban the Bag and Foodwise.
