Plastic News: Grand Canyon Plans Plastic Water Bottle Sales Ban

摘要

Disposable plastic water bottles in shops, vending machines, hotels and grocery stores at Grand Canyon National Park will disappear early next year under a plan by park officials to ban the sale of them, reported The Arizona Daily Sun. But first they'll have to demonstrate they've met guidelines issued earlier this month by the National Park Service that require a review of water availability, visitor health and safety, cost and benefits, and get the approval of the regional director, the article added. Grand Canyon spokeswoman Shannan Marcak told the news source that the park believes it already is positioned to comply with the guidelines. "We need to fully review it, and it takes a little time to figure out if we have all those things covered," she said.
