5 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
