Message Not in a Bottle
August 16th, 2007
Time magazine’s Brian Walsh is pushing for Americans to use less bottled water, and he likes Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s campaign to encourage New Yorker’s to drink tap water. He also applauds Food Network chef Mario Batali’s decision to serve only tap water at his posh New York restaurant.
Among the reasons to switch to tap? Less oil for packaging and shipping, less carbon emissions and solid waste, and a need to address the perception that tap water is unnecessary – which is dangerous since our drinking water infrastructure is in dire need of investment, Walsh says.

Seriously, though, the volume of garbage generated by water bottles is obscene.
