Loyola University in Chicago is ridding its campus of bottled water.
School officials say bottled water will no longer be sold anywhere on campus starting in 2013.

Actually as long as they provide water fill up stattions all over campus I have no problem with them voting this in.
At least it will eliminate empty bottles thrown all over
Why? (I don’t want to give the ChiTrib any hits)
Yup, they’ll sell you an overpriced worth lib arts degree, but don’t even think of trying to buy some filtered water there.
And one wonders why we STEM folks f*rt in the general direction of the majority of our college mates.
“A referendum was passed by students last week to phase out bottled water sales and reduce the university’s environmental footprint. Students launched a year-long campaign to eliminate bottled water sales and draw attention to water conservation.
Officials say the goal of the campaign was to address issues of local water privatization and fair access to water globally.”
oh no! those students will die of thirst!
Just more liberal claptrap from college kids.
They are worried about their environmental footprint.
Are these college kids worried about their sexual footprint?
How much rubber do they use and throw away?
What about their alcohol footprint? Lots of booze bottles add to environmental disaster, don’t they?????

Say it’s not so! No water bottles? How will I be able to tell an entitled, self-absorbed yuppie from the general population at a glance?
It makes me wonder about what they are putting in the water— drugs that make them paranoid, delusional, incapable of rational thought, and incoherent—in other words, guaranteed Democrat voters!
Actually as long as they provide water fill up stattions all over campus I have no problem with them voting this in.

Really? The school needs to provide water stations? What’s next, birth control? (that was tongue in cheek, btw)
Why can’t one fill up one’s water bottle before leaving the building one is in? Do they not have running water in all of their dorms?
I managed to survive college with no bottled water (I’m old) and there were no water fillup stations either.
Who in their right mind buys water anyway? Especially on a college campus with cold water fountains everywhere. Just bring your own bottle and fill it up there. You’d have to be nuts to spend 2 or 3 dollars a bottle for water.
Go to YouTube and search “Liberals on an Escalator.”
Why is it any of your business?
The story doesn’t mention if the plans include banning bottled sodas, which are only flavored bottled water.
Sorry, I didn’t realize opinions weren’t allowed.
