San Francisco Proposes Bottled Water Ban
The American Beverage Association criticized the proposal.
“The consumer should have a choice on how they drink their water,” said Kate Krebs, a spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association, said, according to the San Francisco examiner, noting consumers are recycling the plastic.
The city expects the first public hearing for this bill to take place by early-February. If enacted, San Francisco would follow Concord, Mass., which, earlier this year, was the first American city to ban bottled water, as well as college campuses and national parks that also have instituted a ban, according to TIME.
