The small town of Bundanoon in New South Wales, Australia has become the world's first community to ban bottled water to protect the environment.

Residents voted 350-1 in favor of the ban during a public meeting at the town hall on Wednesday night. They said "huge amounts of resources are used to extract, package and transport bottled water" and "discarded plastic bottles then end up as litter or go into landfill sites," according to BBC.

Residents and visitors to the town of 2,500 will be encouraged to use reusable containers or bottles in getting water from water fountains in the main street.

The ban was spurred by a company's bid to tap underground water from the town, bottle it in Sydney and then sell it to residents. People concerned with the environmental impact of bottled water then launched the "Bundy on Tap" campaign to stop the project and ban bottled water altogether.
