Plastic bottles expelled from UWSP campus
Posted on June 29, 2010
If you want a drink of water on the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus this fall, don't expect to find any bottles for sale.
The university's new vending contract, which will go into effect before the school year starts in September, bans bottled water sales in campus vending machines. The 30 or so beverage machines also will switch to aluminum cans for soft drinks, cutting additional use of plastic. Only beverages which don't come in other materials, such as sports drinks, still will be sold in plastic bottles.
