Stop selling plastic water bottles

Stop selling single use water bottles, there is no need. Students can bring in their own water bottles and refill them throughout the day. It should be part of their school equipment like their pencil case and books are.

Why is this important?

After watching the BBC programme on war on plastic and working in a school myself, I see plastic water bottles thrown around the school premises. We need to stop the demand for these bottles to be made in the first place, where better to start than in education.
