According to figures in 2006, Americans drank an average 167 bottles of water each, but only recycled an average of 38 bottles per person which meant about 50 billion plastic bottles were consumed, but only 23 percent were recycled, leaving 38 billion plastic water bottles to be thrown away.

Apparently manufacturing plastic bottles for water uses over 1.5 million barrels of oil per year — that’s enough oil to fuel 100,000 cars....

Oh well....I guess its not such a cuckoo idea...

Do you lot not realise how dangerous an empty bottle is.

Hell the rifle lobby will fight this law with every inch of it life.

ITS UNCONSTITUTIONAL I TELL YOU

Apparently they can still sell them in special circumstances ( really) and they haven't banned fuzzy drinks of the same size, the locals say they will just nip to a neighbouring town that sells them so that's well thought out then

You can buy a semi-automatic assault rifle and 1000's of rounds of ammo, but not a Kinder egg, or most French cheeses....!

Go figure....

Right now there is some little nobody, who's mum or dad has a plethora of M16's etc laying around in the house, who is getting REALLY hot under the collar about not being able to go and buy his daily 'Oakey Finoakey' 500ml bottle of water. He steams and simmers about it for a month, then one afternoon when his parents are out, he picks up an assault rifle, takes his mums car to the local store and shouting the words 'Gimme ma water you bastards!!' guns down everyone at the store and then shoots himself.

And the NRA will no doubt say..... "See! It's 500ml bottles of water that kill people - NOT guns!!"

Bloody glad we let them have their country 200-odd years ago...

Kinder eggs are banned because Americans can't be trusted not to eat the toy

I doubt it... but it might help reduce the size of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex…..

It wont reduce anything other than local sales of 500ml bottles of water.

People will bulk buy from the out of town shopping mall.

Others will buy alternate product.

Stupid idea from an even more stupid country.

You have to have a sneaky respect for whoever first managed to sell water in bottles to otherwise sensible people.
