I wholeheartedly agree. I now make a point of asking for tap water in restaurants, (even if the wait staff do look down their noses) in hope that I will start more of a trend. We are so lucky to have fresh clean water available literally on tap. To think in some parts of the world people would kill for the same privilege we take for granted.

You can get systems that provide filtered, chilled water from the mains – that way you need never have a delivery of water bottles again. Well worth it. Imagine if all offices and homes had such system installed – bottled water would be totally unecessary!

THis is a very interesting article. I’d like to know, can water coolers provide cooled tap water?

I totally agree with you! I’ve heard about you from Sophie Thomas and we want tap campaign is great. Here in Italy the market of bottled water is terrible. I live in Milan and some years ago, on a newspaper, there was a resarch that proved the quality of the tap water (in the “hit parade” it was first, before every brand one). Well, nothing changed, bottled water continues to be sold everywhere. The problem, I think, is to try drink tap water not only at home but everywhere (in office, bar and so on).
Here, if you go in a bar or in a restaurant and ask water, no one ask “tap or bottle?”, they give you a bottle (not free, of course)…
