Behold the Canadian college water fountain crisis:
The number of drinking fountains has declined on college campuses, say a third of those taking part in a recent online survey about commercialization at Canadian colleges. Forty-three percent reported that the fountains are often broken and go unrepaired, and 44 percent said the decline in water fountains coincided roughly with the advent of exclusive contracts with major soft-drink companies. The survey was designed jointly by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and the Polaris Institute, a think tank that promotes social change.
