===Phipps Conservatory ends sale of bottled water===
: July 2008
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens has discontinued the sale and use of bottled water in the entire conservatory.
Cafe Phipps now offers corn-based compostable cups and sells reusable bottles for filtered waters, the Pittsburgh-based conservatory said.
"As a model of sustainability in the community, we wish to educate our visitors with ways in which they can reduce human impact on the environment," Phipps Executive Director Richard Piacentini said in a statement.
Phipps is a Victorian glasshouse, gardens and tropic forest conservatory located in the Schenley Park area of Pittsburgh.
