Paris wants to reduce plastic bottle use. Will they Ban the Bottle? Non! They will dispense carbonated water at public fountains to redirect sparkling water fans toward refilling reusable bottles. How refreshing and au courant! Get this: the Italians have been doing it for years, grazziverymuch.
Read about it in the Guardian UK and the NYTimes.
Could something like that happen in the USA? Fat chance, Pierre - the portly plastics and bottled-water lobbyists would bums-rush our capital and execute a full-court press on our impre$ politicians. “OH, THE JOB LOSSES!”,”TAX-PAYER BOONDOGGLE!”...ZZZZzzzzz…
Riiiiight…those Frogs are on to something!
