Concerns
• If plastic water bottles are no longer sold won’t that lead to an increase in the sales of sodas?
• What if I’m thirsty and I don’t have a reusable bottle?
• Filling up a reusable bottle is too difficult
• Selling water bottles creates revenue and is a large portion of my sales
• Bottled water is healthier for me. Tap water is gross

Our Goal:
To phase out the sale and dispersal of plastic water bottles on campus• Step 1: Phase out plastic water bottles at University events like
sporting events, catered meetings, and conferences.
