Should The World Eliminate Bottled Water?

The Vancouver City Council has proposed a ban of bottled water for staff at city functions and at city concession stands. This is obviously an environmental initiative. People are posting all kinds of comments about this online and on the radio this morning (The Beat) they joked about having to buy soda pop over water at the PNE (Vancouver's summer playground). Some say this change will have very little impact on reducing cost on the environment. What do you think? I think the city is trying to take whatever steps possible. The tap water in Vancouver is clean, safe, and we can drink it! Many in other countries would look at us and imagine our tap water as a luxury. Here we are used to having bottled water and now facing the challenge of eliminating it.
