bottled water

bottled water is dumb.

convenient, inexpensive, reusable water bottles

Good for Brandeis.

Bottled water is expensive and wastes natural resources in the transportation of the water, manufacture of the bottles and disposal of the bottles.

If you want a water bottle that can be reused hundres and hundreds of times, collapses to about the size of a hockey puck and has no BPA in its chemical make up-please go to our web site www.perfectbottles.com and see an amazing alternative.

We can save the planet..one bottle at a time.

banning water sales

At last a properly conservative gesture: perhaps this signals the beginning of a truly conservative movement among students? Conservatives need to go green again.
