Tap water coming back into fashion
Recent concerns about the environmental impact of the bottled water industry may be causing many people to switch back to using tap water again. Bottled water has saw huge increases in popularity as people believed the quality and taste of bottled water was superior to tap water. But the latest research shows that water from the tap is much kinder on the environment compared with bottled water.
Tap water is generally very safe to drink and the quality very high although it can vary depending on where you live. But in this environmentally aware age, people are more concerned about the impact of their consumption and bottled water has a major problem with plastic packaging. The best solution for those who still prefer filtered water is to use a water cooler at home or at work. Since these can be built into the mains, they have a lower impact on the environment compared with bottled water consumption.
