I *heart* Tap Water

[phyncke]

They are doing this new campaign at the Uni to promote the drinking of tap water. Now if you are in an area where there is good tap water, I recommend jumping on the band wagon here for the following reasons. Factoids lifted from the Health Services web site:

- Health experts recommend we limit ourselves to 10 teaspoons of added sugar per day. One 12-ounce can of regular soda has — drumroll — 10 teaspoons of sugar. Leaving no room for that energy drink or medium mocha.
- Bottled water, like gasoline, is about a thousand times more expensive than tap water. Want to save money?

Here in Berkeley we have great tap water and drinking it and using reusable containers saves on packaging and all that, so if you can where you are, go for it. I keep a big cup here at my desk and use the tap water here.

I know not everyone can do this where they live so this is just a suggestion.
