Detroit Zoo To Stop Selling Bottled Water

Detroit Zoo To Stop Selling Bottled Water « CW50 Detroit:
"ROYAL OAK (CW50) – It’s soon to be a BYOB party at the Detroit Zoo.
They have launched a three-year program to phase out the sale of bottled water at the park.
This move is part of the Detroit Zoological Society’s (DZS) Greenprint sustainability plan.
Bottled water is a significant revenue generator for the zoo with $240,000 in annual sales, but it is also the largest portion of the parks plastic waste.
“This phase-out will cost us revenue, but it’s important to walk our talk and do what’s good for the environment,” said DZS Executive Director and CEO Ron Kagan."
