Thanks for sharing! Let's also not forget our increasing awareness of global issues with amassing plastic waste and the unlikelihood that Nestle and other manufacturers will ever have to pay anything for that. Meanwhile, plastic bags from brick and mortar stores in Toronto are banned. On my former university campus, stores were forbidden to sell bottled flat water and there were fill-your-own-reusable bottle stations in many places - I thought that was a step in the right direction, considering the country we live in and how ubiquitous equal-quality water is available from our taps (as you point out) (and in most, but not all, of Canada). Personally, I'd love to see a tax on single-use plastics in such a way that the biggest polluters (ie, industry and corporations) pay the biggest share, not mom and pop shops and low-income people, etc.
