Queens University bans bottled water sales, environment
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Social
Queen's is delivering on its promise to ban bottled water sales across campus this fall in an effort to curb waste and promote sustainable water practices. As of September 1, bottled water is no longer available in vending machines, retail outlets or at catered events.
"Queen's is committed to creating a greener community for its students, faculty and staff and this initiative is a positive step - both in action and awareness - toward that goal," says Principal Daniel Woolf. "Banning bottled water makes us take a step back and think about this valuable resource and the impact of our choices on the environment."
