Seattle U. to stop serving bottled water
Seattle University officials say the school has become the first university in Washington to stop selling bottled water in its cafeterias, concession stands and vending machines, as part of a student-led effort to cut down on waste and make the school more sustainable.
Seattle University officials say the school has become the first university in Washington to stop selling bottled water in its cafeterias, concession stands and vending machines, as part of a student-led effort to cut down on waste and make the school more sustainable.
The school is instead selling stainless-steel water bottles and encouraging students to fill them up at water fountains. Seattle University expects to raise $2,000 from the water-bottle sales to install a water-treatment system at a medical clinic in Haiti.
Last year, students bought 3,700 plastic bottles of water in campus vending machines and cafes.
