War bottled water U.S.

Starting last September, the Seattle University has become the first to University of Washington that prohibited the sale of mineral water in plastic bottles, and one of the few in the world to have made this choice. The only water that you can drink throughout the campus, from food services to the library, vending machines, is that of the tap.

The real promoters of the initiative were the students who took the decision to stop selling bottled water for the following reasons:

-the need to maintain access to a universal right for all men and as such can not be commodified;
-the contribution that this choice can make to achieving global targets for reducing greenhouse gases that the campus has set;
-because the tap water in Seattle is one of the best nation in all respects.

The water is delivered from different fountains all clearly marked on the map of the campus are in buildings on campus where you can fill bottles, thermos bottles and jugs.
On campus you can purchase water bottles for $ 9.99 and contributing to a project that allows Haiti to have access to clean water. Part of the proceeds of the sale is donated to an association in fact, Engineers Without Borders ( EWB) that allows for each bottle sold to four Haitians to drink clean water for ten years. This is due to water treatment systems that EWB has won the country of Haiti and that also runs as a service.
The bottles have also been bought by Corporate Accountability International (CAI) with the logo of their campaign Think Outside the Bottle CAI and even here the sale of bottles raises funds for the campaign that promotes the spread of tap water. According to the Container Recycling
Institute Americans throw away each year 425 million plastic bottles and other beverage containers . The introduction of returnable containers for plastic and aluminum, the issuance of orders prohibiting the sale of bottled water and prohibiting the transfer of plastic bottles in landfills have been implemented to encourage recycling and reduce waste by a number of states, cities and universities.
Several states have implemented a vacuum system to make is to require that at the time of payment of a sum as a deposit that is returned when residents bring the bottles and cans in recycling centers. The states that have this system in force at the moment are: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon and Vermont. Here are some examples of actions taken in various states.
