Why would you ever hope this starts a trend? The fact that some back-roads town doesn't give its citizens the option to recycle hardly seems a legitimate cause to hope this will spread to other places.
The plastic in water bottles can be recycled to produce carpets, clothing, piping, and a myriad of other useful things.
How is a 100% recyclable product bad for the environment again...?
It's not biodegradable and it's made from fossil fuels...it's totally unsustainable and takes 1000 years to biodegrade in a landfill.
