Interesting that they are using filter systems. The important part of making them effective is to change the filters. Students of mine once did a survey of filter users – some users had never changed them and in some cases there was more bacteria in the outgoing water than in the incoming water.

You guys falsely assume people drink bottled water instead of tap. That is wrong. People are drinking bottled water instead of Coke and Pepsi. Bottled water has a MUCH lower environmental impact than soft drinks and is a heck of a lot healthier. Drink more bottled water!

Why isn’t anybody mentioning recycling? The water bottles are only a small percentage of all the glass and plastic used for packaging.

During a trip to The Netherlands I noticed that there where glass/plastic/paper recycling containers on almost every streetcorner, and from what I’ve heard its a total success. The knife cuts both ways, save the environment and sell the valuable end products.

I totally agree with the comment above.
Green iniciatives took too long to conquer their space among civilizations.
Not only plastic and glass bottles polute but also the means of transportation behind their logistics.

I can’t help but to roll my eyes and wonder still why anyone would want to pay $4 for bubbly tap water. If I am going to celebrate it is going to be with bubbly champagne, not water. Otherwise just plan ol’ water is fine by me – and you’re not going to charge me for THAT (altho you would like to, no doubt).
