Well, it is that time of year again. It still feels like only yesterday that we celebrated the first World Tap Water Week last year and here it is once again.
World Tap Water Week is that time of year where we celebrate the freely available – against a small charge in our homes – water from the municipal water supplies.
It is very similar, so chemists tell me, to bottled water in that it consists of, apparently, the same materials, namely 2 hydrogen atoms, mixed with1 of oxygen. And if bottled water is the same, as it would appear, as tap water, why then is the world gone crazy in the consumption of bottled water at 100x the tap water price. Especially considering that many bottled water brands are but (filtered) municipal water.
And, just in time, Tapwater.org has gotten the lifebottle in stock and they are no ready to ship. Tapwater.org also will guide you to free refilling stations and water fountains in London (and hopefully soon nationwide).
The lifebottle, as I said already in my review, so far the best designed reusable water bottle that I have seen, held and used. If you want a folding reusable water bottle that can be had as well in the form of the Aquatina, another favorite of mine – aside from my repurposed glass reusable water bottles.
The Aquatina is a 500ml bottle that collapses into a small package and is the brainchild of Guy Jeremiah. Despite the fact that the Dragons at the BBC Dragons' Den rejected it that bottle is now really on the march.
Go, and let's support World Tap Water Week and kick the bottled water habit. Whichever reusable bottle you chose to use, as long as it is not a PET one for that is not healthy, fill it with tap water and be part of the in crowd.
