The U.S. town of Concord in Massachusetts State has banned stores from selling water in bottles that are smaller than one liter. Stores who sell the water will have to pay a $50 fine. The new law is the result of a three-year campaign by local resident Jean Hill.

Ms Hill first told people about the idea at a meeting in 2010. She wants people to drink more tap water and use fewer plastic bottles, which she says end up littering streets, rivers and the countryside.

She said: ''Bottled water is bad for the environment, our health, and our public water systems. Concord's decision to go bottled-water free is a great example of how communities can promote our most essential public service: the tap/faucet.''

What do you think about environmental problems? Do you think bottled water is a problem for the environment? What else could be done to help the environment?
