If you're thinking about stopping by Concord, Mass., you'll want to bring your own reusable bottle. The historic town, which is the birthplace of the Revolutionary War and the home of famous thinker Henry David Thoreau, has a ban on the ubiquitous water receptacle.
In Jan. 2013, Concord became the first city in the nation to ban this plastic menace, a charge led by octogenarian Jean Hill and her activist partner Jill Appel.
A documentary of the battle, "Divide in Concord," premiered in July 2014. Proponents of the ban wanted to curb waste and fossil fuel use.
