Bottled water industry responds to call for bottle ban

(March 28, 2013) -- Efforts to further increase the availability of clean, safe drinking water in national parks should be encouraged. Bottle refilling stations and water fountains throughout national parks and communities are an excellent opportunity to help promote healthy hydration, said Hogan. But access to bottled water is also a key component of this effort and should not be discouraged, prohibited, or overlooked when discussing water’s role in a healthier lifestyle.
