The idea to stop selling water to tourist in the desert may have been a good one in the fist place.
The reasoning was that 30% of the trash in the park is plastic bottles. Ripe opportunity for recycling.
It does stand to reason that if Coca-Cola made less profit off the tourist that they would have less to donate to the parks.
One option would be to have an in park redemption charge with recycling machines around the park to give refunds. In this way people would be more likely to recycle and dropped bottles would be more likely to be picked up.

Rather the National Park Service.
Unless you start demanding glass bottled for your bottled water- plastic will continue to be used. Just because something can be recycled does not mean it is. Glass at least is inert in the environment when you do not consider the sharp edges. However if you ever walked along a rocky beach, you find chunks of glass that have been rounded from the action of the waves, so nature knowns how to take care of itself..
