Rated • 11 reviews • ecology • environmentalgraffiti.com
We need more leaders like Seattle's mayor Greg Nickels...
From the page: In what is a great initiative from many points of view, the mayor of Seattle (Greg Nickels) has announced that the city will no longer be buying bottled water for events or water-cooler jugs for its workers.
While it will save only $58,000 a year, the beneficial impact on the environment will be much greater.
There are still a lot of arguments over whether tap water is as good as it's supposed to be or not. It's estimated that about a half of the people in the U.S. drink bottled water and the number is increasing. While tests have pointed out that most bottles are pure and quite good to drink, there were some which had chemicals and several unwanted substances in their composition.
