\"\"<\/a>With all the recent buzz about the dangers of bottled water, we thought we’d look into the issue a bit more.\u00a0 Within the last few years, we’ve found that there have been several campaigns on university campuses to ban the sale of plastic water bottles.\u00a0 Many of these campaigns have resulted in successful bans, but the debate remains heated.\u00a0 Should colleges and universities ban the sale of bottled water on campus? Strong arguments exist for both sides of the debate.\u00a0 We have written an article entitled, “Should Universities Ban Bottled Water<\/a>,” which lists the main reasons for and against a bottled water ban.\u00a0 This list applies, not just to university campuses, but to any place that is or has been in the middle of a campaign to ban bottled water.<\/p>\n
