Plastic pollution is one of the greatest problems facing our environment today. Apparently there’s enough plastic discarded each year to circle the Globe 4 times with most of this only being used once before being thrown away.
Many national parks and universities in the United States already have a complete ban on the sale of plastic water bottles.
In a monumental move, San Francisco has become the first city in America to ban the sale of plastic water bottles – The plastic bottle industry makes billions of dollars every year and this is taking its toll on the environment.
As a result, San Francisco’s local government is attempting to build a global movement to reduce the huge amount of waste material accumulation. Over the next four years there will be a phased ban on the sales of plastic water bottles that hold 21 ounces or less in public spaces. There will be a waiver in place if an adequate alternative water source is not available.
We think this is a great move here at Skip Hire Info and will be interested to see if any cities here in the UK follow suit.
