San Francisco bans disposable, single-use bottled water at events

[Trip]

It's a start

Seems more of an agenda to me...and it isnt environmentally based.

Well that is the perspective you choose to take. I dont know what else to tell you.

Fair ban IMO,it's a municipal & environmental issue

No different from shyt like emissions controls on cars. Everyone hated em until they started seeing pictures and the asthma/cancer rates in smoggy places like India & China

Real talk bottled water is demonic. its not just that plastic bottles are unhealthy; think about the cost/energy of transportation and manufacturing, the waste, the way aquifers are getting tapped to make them... all while the VAST majority of places in the US provide perfectly fine potable water consistently.... at least with soft drinks and juices I can understand that cus its a proprietary product.. but water?

If you're targeting only one type of beverage when several are sold in plastic containers....I mean, connect the dots.

I mean the amount of water it takes just to make 1 water bottle is pretty silly.

Water is the only beverage sold exclusively in plastic bottles. Juice can come in paper cartons or glass bottles. Soda can come in a glass bottle or aluminum can. Plus water is free and can be stored safely without having to monitor for temperature or any of that horse shyt. So there is really no reason to sell it in that single-use packaging.

I'll bite though. "Connect the dots" for me. What other agenda could there be and what proof do you have of that being the agenda besides your own biases/prejudices?

yeahhh I know. But still. We as a society need to find a way to curb our use of these things somehow.

There's no use to sell water? Since when are you the arbiter of that? People buy it for convenience. I'm not attempting to prove anything here other than it being a silly rule legislated by people with most likely nothing better to do. Or they want to monopolize water.

Yet somehow it continues to be one of America's most desirable cities. Full of culture, great cuisine and smart people......oh the humanity.

Yup.

But like the other dude said, the unique SF culture is definitely diminishing but it is still a great city to live in.

Also, why are people limiting themselves to being liberals, progressives, neo-liberals, conservatives, republicans, democrats etc? Your opinions and ideas can transcend the thoughts of those categories so why don't you? This could be a conservative approach to preserve the environment but just because republicans believe that it isn't, you somehow believe it can't be. The whole concept of conservatism is to conserve a time period that was efficient or provide stability, well this does both so

People on this board always complain about the contradictory nature of politics but still attach themselves to these ambiguous philosophies
