Citing environmental concerns, Mayor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order prohibiting city departments from buying bottled water. In a decision announced Thursday, Newsom said the ban will go into effect July 1 and extend to all city and county water coolers by December 1. Tony Winnicker, spokesman for the San Francisco public utilities commission, said Newsom's decision will save tax payer money and combat global warming.

Typical grandstanding political move of insignificance.
“Combat global warming” LOLOLOL. Unfreaking believable. Is there a single liberal nostrum left that doesn’t do that?
It also goes to show how little radical Liberals actually cherish personal freedom. ...It also makes me glad I don't live within a stone's throw of San Francisco, either.
The rumor is that the Mayor likes Coke more that bottled water.
Now that they solved all of those other minor problems like crime, they can move on to the important stuff.
Like dissing America’s soldiers, banning pastic bags and banning bottled water. Truly, SF is another country.
with any luck from
al gore’s “global warming”,
new orleans will succumb to another hurricane.
i’m tired of hearing about the democrap plantation’s new orleans.
It bugs me that I live within 500 miles of San Fransicko.
Wrong mayor, wrong city.
You definitely got the name right! It’s another universe up there, isn’t it?
sorry!
lol.
i dislike both cities.
but you can feel my pain. (/s)
Bizarre is a complement for them. I have visited there a few times, but I ALWAYS like leaving. Such a shame too...the region is very nice. Since San Fran is already it’s own county, I wish they would just make it its’ own state.
No kidding! They can also annex Santa Barbara and Hollywood, too. The rest of California is relatively normal.
It bugs me, rottndog, that San Fransicko is a sore on American soil.
San Francisco Lefty-Greeny politicians love their snowmelt tap water, and oppose the movement to Restore Hetchy Hetchy.
They are all in favor of the environment, don't you see, but not if it affects their non-bottled tap water.
How about banning make-up and hair grooming products...he consumes a lot of those...
Why were city departments allowed to buy bottled water in the first place?
Serious foodies on the Left Coast are giving up bottled water for tap water:
