The school plans to stop selling bottled water on campus by <a title=\"World Water Day\" href=\"http:\/\/www.worldwaterday.org\/\">World Water Day<\/a>, which is March 22 of this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many schools in the United States and Canada have undertaken similar bottled water bans, and even more schools have considered such a ban. Of course, if a university or college bans bottled water, they should make sure that they have a plan in place to provide clean water to students.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Canberra did that and then some.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The university has installed water bubblers and water refill stations throughout the campus so that its students have access to clean, filtered water. And, unlike bottled water, this water doesn&#8217;t cost students a thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the University of Canberra didn&#8217;t stop there. They also had <a title=\"Water Vend\" href=\"http:\/\/www.watervend.com\">Water Vend<\/a> machines installed. These machines provide &#8220;flash-chilled&#8221; filtered tap water, which students may have still, sparkling or even flavored. Sigg also supplied the school with reusable water bottles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your campus is considering a <a title=\"bottled water ban\" href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/Ban-bottled-water.asp\" target=\"_blank\">bottled water ban<\/a>, you would do well to take a page out of the University of Canberra&#8217;s book. There is no point in even considering a ban on bottled water if you don&#8217;t have a clear alternative, as the University of Canberra clearly did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Canberra is the first Australian university to ban the sale of bottled water on its campus, according to a blog post by Stephen Parker, the school&#8217;s vice chancellor.
