Bottled Water Bans and Meat-Free Days

Our friends on Green Inc. have posted on a vote in the Australian town of Bundanoon to "ban bottled water to reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with bottling and transporting the water":

Huw Kingston, a local businessman and the organizer of a campaign group, Bundy on Tap, said that 400 people turned up to the Bundanoon Memorial Hall to vote in favor of the ban, with only two casting dissenting votes, according to a report.

Free water fountains would be installed in the town to replace the bottled water, the report said.
Free water fountains are a good idea anyway. That was one of the things I missed when we lived in Europe.
Meanwhile, city workers in Ghent, a Flemish town northwest of Brussels, have opted to make Thursdays a "meatless day" and to eat vegetarian meals to improve health and reduce the impact of raising livestock on the environment, according to Ethical Vegetarian Alternative, a Belgian campaign group.
The Catholics had already taken Friday. But so long as it's only the city workers who took a pledge, it's not really a big deal.
