“San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted to ban bottled water from city property and events, as well as food trucks regulated by the city. The legislation is widely acknowledged to be among the strictest bottled-water bans in the country, and in the environmental community at least, it’s being hailed as an important step in ridding landfills of the scourge of plastic bottles. A tad smugly, David Chiu, the city supervisor who authored the legislation, underscored that the ban was intended to change behavior, too, not just packaging. ‘I want to remind people that not long ago, our world was not addicted to plastic water bottles,’ he said. ‘For centuries, everybody managed to stay hydrated.'”
