Bottled Water Ban
In June 2007, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom released an executive directive to phase out the usage of water bottles in the city[1]. The ban in San Francisco has strict consequences. If a public event that has more than 100 people is caught distributing water bottles, the event sponsors can pay a fine of up to $500[2]. Many city offices who supported the ban complied quickly with the phase out of water bottles except for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who spent about $4,387 on water bottles for three years after the ban was put into effect [3]. San Francisco is one of the largest cities in the country to initiate such a ban yet the city did not offer the people a public policy to allow for access to free water [4]
