Question
Should we ban bottled water?
Position1 of 2›

Yes, water bottles should be banned.

This position holds that bottled water should be banned. It argues that, where clean tap water is freely available, a ban would deprive no one but would push people toward reusable bottles, and that eliminating single-use plastic bottles would sharply cut the waste polluting landfills and oceans.
