In a small American town – Concord, located in
State of Massachusetts, on January 1, 2013, a law banning will come into force
sales of water in plastic bottles. According to local media, to
This decision came in April of this year, the council of citizens,
who are seriously concerned about the environmental condition of their
country.
According to citizens, the wrong disposal of plastic bottles
brings serious damage to the environment. Attorney General
State fully supported the residents of Concord: “Let’s hope that
after Concord other cities will come to such an important decision ”
– quotes Hill.
Все пластиковые bottles от одного литра и меньше попадают под
ban. Breaking the law will be punished accordingly: first
violation will entail a warning, and subsequent – a penalty in
up to fifty dollars.
Bottled water companies, in turn,
intend to protest this ruling in court. According to
International Water Manufacturers Association, a similar innovation
will hurt local business, depriving the city of important
tax revenues.
Note that Concord is not the only and not the first city in the world,
came to the decision to cancel the sale of bottled water. Like
the law was first introduced three years ago in an Australian city under
named Bundanut.
