A little push back against President Trump's recent repeal of a water-bottle ban in national parks.
The New York City Council is pushing back against President Trump’s repeal of a six-year ban on selling bottled water at national parks, and a Bushwick representative is leading the charge.
The council is introducing legislation to ban the sale of single-use, plastic water bottles in city parks and beaches. Council Member Rafael Espinal, who reps parts of Bushwick, authored one of the bills.
