Bundanoon to ban bottled water?

The issues of food and water security cannot really be separated from one another - and the commercialisation of valuable water resources really gets up my nose.

So, I was very interested to read that the little town of Bundanoon in the NSW Southern Highlands may be about to become the first in Australia to ban the sale of bottled water.

The towns people were inspired to action by a proposal from a comany to pump water out of a local acquifier to supply to the bottled water market.

Read about it on the ABC News website.
