to reduce the bottled water consumption was adding taxes. By adding taxes more people will stop using water bottles because people don’ t like taxes. Economy was down a lot, so people were stretched for money. Paying extra taxes will not help. Another thing people are doing to reduce bottled water is banning it completely. An Australian city was the first city in the world to completely ban bottled water. Just tap water everywhere you go. There are no temptations to buy a case of water. There were no bottles, no environmental issues, nothing, just tap water. That may seem hard to deal with at first and it was a little difficult, but they got used to it. Now that city’ s footprint just got a little bit smaller. We can do many things to help this problem, even small things. You can buy a reusable water bottle to fill with tap water. All these things will help with the sustainability of the world.
