<p>"We are excited to announce that bottled water will no longer be distributed or sold on the Hampshire College campus. Both our Sodexo partners in Dining Services and Follett in the Hampstore have agreed to stop selling and providing bottled water on campus. By eliminating the sale and distribution of bottled water on campus, Hampshire College is ending its financial support of the bottled water industry, an important step toward a more sustainable lifestyle for students, faculty, and staff...</p>

<p>...Staff members from Physical Plant have begun installing... new bottle filling hydration stations around campus to increase the availability of chilled filtered water."</p>

<p>The filling stations sound like a great idea! I'll be interested in how this works out.</p>
