London bans plastic water bottles 7:26pm on 28 Aug 2008 Plastic water bottles are an obscenity. Even if they did not poison the water they contain with carcinogens, they poison the environment. I blame marketers who apparently can sell us anything. It is a fact that most municipal water, at least here in Canada, is as good or better than the stuff they sell us, at an insane mark up in plastic bottles.

I have a small Japanese stainless steel thermos that I have been using for over 10 years, not only does it keep the water cold, there is no pollution. I paid $40 for it, or about the cost of 20 bottles of water. Is there any argument left for bottled water? I think not. In my whole life I have purchased maybe 10 bottles of the stuff, always because I had to. It should be banned everywhere.
