Is there a need for bottled water? On Thursday, we questioned whether Fiji’s eco-friendly efforts were really that green. And it seems that the folks at the London Design Festival were thinking about the bottled water controversy as well. At the Greengaged best practice case studies earlier this month at the London Design Festival, Joshua Blackburn presented a pro-tap water campaign developed by communication design agency, Provokateur. With a desire to bring about positive changes in consumer behavior, WeWantTap is both a campaign and product line. The campaign is simple, though the ambition is big, as Joshua explained: “We want to develop an initiative to take on the bottled water industry.”
I agree that bottled water is ridiculously overpriced. It tastes better, at least for I live, and I don’t have the $100 to get a filtered adapter for my faucet. But if you lived in Oregon with your own well like my husband’s grandparents, then you could drink from the toilet and it’d taste good. My only concern is if it doesn’t taste good I don’t drink as much as I should, anyone else with that problem?
Tap water is not free, unless you have your own well.Even if you have your own well,
you should have it tested from time to time.There are many things contaminating well-water,
however it does taste good.I have never bought bottled water.
I recently purchased some stainless steel water bottles and fill them with tap water (well) that has gone through reverse osmosis filtering. Great Taste
No BPA\’s
No landfill additions
No profit for bottlers
