Smiths Falls water bottle plant
The other day in the Kingston Whig standard there was an article about the plans for a water bottle company to take over the empty building where the Hershey Chocolate Factory used to be in Smiths Falls, Ontario. The Council of Canadians has objected to this on the basis that bottled water is bad for the environment due to polluting trucks and due to the fact that water bottles end up in landfills. I do not agree with the Council of Canadians assessment. Water is good for you and bottled water is the only way to drink water on the go. Also, so long as water bottles are recycled they are not a problem. As far as trucks are concerned, that is something we need to work on long term. But by all means open a water bottle factory in Smiths Falls.

Right on
Our city has banned bottled water at public events on city property.
And now.
Wait for it....all you can buy to slake your thirst is pop...in cans or...wait for it plastic bottles.
Go for the water bottling plan.
Better your kids et al are sucking back water than Pepsi or whatever.
Ok they tell us to bring a stainless steel drinking container and drink our civic water at every event. Tyranny run amok
The recycling of plastic water bottles is unfortunately not as efficient as we'd wish it.
