Water? Sorry, We've Only Got Tap!
In order to combat water shortage, several restaurants have taken the initiative to only serve tap water — and to only do so upon request!
Several restaurants in the San Francisco and New York City abide by this new philosophy.
The New York Times writes
It’s a big move in the restaurant industry, which, if you extrapolate from the amount of water it buys, takes in at least $200 million to $350 million from bottled water a year, according to the restaurant consultant Clark Wolf.
The “eat local” movement first became popular in California, so it makes sense that “drink local” is catching on there as a way to reduce the environmental costs of manufacturing and transporting bottles of water, as well as the mountains of plastic that end up in landfills.
I think this is just a sensible move. It always bugged me when the waiter filled my water glass instantaneously even when I didn’t want any. Look for more restaurants to take on this money saving, water saving and time saving program.
