There is a serious debate over whether or not bottled water should be legal. On the one hand, people have a right to drink water out of what they want. Our rights as US citizens are guaranteed by the Constitution. Not to mention that bottling water is a huge industry, with lots of jobs invested in it. On the other, all of the bottles of water that are thrown away and not recycled or just plain littered are a huge tax on the environment, harmful to wildlife, and don't boidegrade for a long time. And one could argue that if it became illegal, water-bottling companies could transfer to making metal water containers, thermos bottles, and plastics-based prodution with their leftover plastic. It's a complicated issue.

Should bottled water be banned?

Well, bottled water isn't really necessary. It's a lot of wasted energy and generated waste for very little actual improvement. It takes a lot of resources to make the bottles, fill them up and ship them out. Then some more to deal with the empties. You can save a lot of energy, and reduce waste, by drinking tap water. Even filtering the tap water - if needed - takes far less energy than bottled water. But whether to ban them or not is another matter. We do a lot of things that aren't needed, bottled water is only one of them. It's more of a political question than a practical question. No one needs sodas or alcohol either for instance.


Why do some cities ban the use of garden sprinklers?

Some cities ban the use of garden sprinklers to conserve water during drought conditions or in regions facing water scarcity. This helps to manage limited water resources and ensure that essential needs, such as drinking water and sanitation, are prioritized. Additionally, such regulations aim to promote more sustainable landscaping practices and encourage residents to adopt water-efficient gardening techniques.
