The truth of tap water
I have never understood the addiction that some people seem to have to bottled water, let alone water itself. I hardly drink anything that lacks the fizz of carbonation, the lemon tang of Crystal Light or the bitter bite of coffee.
But from the U.S. to Canada, the administrations of 14 colleges, such as Saint Benedict and Macalester College in Minnesota, have taken note of the addiction and have acted against it.
The two universities have banned the sale of bottled water on campus during the past year for the sake of sustainability, according to a USA Today article.
The higher powers of Macalester College have tried to ease students into the transition, planting 31 “hydration stations” – water fountains with an additional spigot for refilling bottles – around campus, according to the article.
My reaction? I think buying water when it flows cleanly from taps is a strange and unnecessary luxury.
