Plastic Free July - Day 14 - Provide tap water and glasses for meetings. I recently joined a meeting with other #Toronto zero wasters and we walked the talk by using reuable cups and plates. Many of us also brought our own napkins. So nice to meet up with like minded people. We are planning some great #zerowaste events for Toronto. Stay tuned. We are also having another social zero waste meet up on July 22. Let me know if you're interested in joining. @plasticfreejuly @yourecofriend @refusereuse @torontotoollibrary @itsahashtaglife . . . #plasticfreejuly #refuse #refusesingleuse #takebackthetap #tapwater #realzerowastersoftoronto #0W (at Centre for Social Innovation)

So I got a water filter from Soma on the low, just paid for 2 replacement filters (which was less than $7), and I'm super excited I spent money on this! #soma #water #takebackthetap

Think about it. All fresh water is imported from somewhere. #takebackthetap (at Union Station (Portland, Oregon))

What you don’t know about the bottled water industry could be costing you hundreds of dollars a year. Get the facts on bottled water and find out why tap water

In my year at CU Boulder I was part of this Take Back the Tap program, that promotes tap water use over bottled water purchasing. Tap water is more regulated than bottled water because of its public use, and as we experience here in NYC, tap water can be as delicious as the Fiji bottled water we've talked about. On this site it does list The New School participates in Take Back the Tap but I am struggling to find the club. Nonetheless, this campaign has some very interesting resources that only prove further how bottled water can be more of an accessory than a necessity...I witnessed some of this accessorizing this weekend:

On the blue line, on my way to Brooklyn. I'm sitting on a warm seat, my phone dead, watching the doors open and close with every faint "Ting!" Some stops are grubbier than others, with hot and stinky odors following the passengers who enter the train. I watch fathers and daughters, tired workers, excited and inebriated college kids, among other people of various shapes and sizes enter and sit on the orange seats. Now the seats are full, it's a busy night on the C train. Two young women enter, in mid-conversation. Head to toe, they are dressed in black. Their jeans look worn and expensive, their shoes the popular Nike design, and their hair tossed up in bohemian buns. In their hands, Smart Water bottles. No purses, just the bottles. As they stand solid, without the aid of the handrails, both women let their long and slim arms outline their body. The bottles hang beside their hips. One of them is empty. The other has barely a sip of water left. For the next twenty minutes the water remains in the bottle. Then the women finally slide out through the doors, with their empty bottles, past the trash cans.

Stop buying plastic and get a reusable water bottle

Why waste $1 to $3 buying water when we can get it for FREE from our taps. How wonderful is that! A reusable water bottle costs about $5, so spend $5 now, save hundreds later. It just takes a little extra effort to put that buddy in your backpack or purse.

The Story of Stuff's video on the Story of Bottled Water has some ugly truths in it about those plastic suckers. They're really just reselling to you what you already have. And, New York City has some of the best water around. So don't get drawn in - love your tap!

Earth Matters- Take Back the Tap

Throughout my first year, I was involved in Earth Matters, NYU's green/eco-friendly club. Since the club is so big, we break up into smaller groups with specific interests. During my first semester, I worked with a group that focused on recycling on campus, but during second semester, we decided to focus on the Take Back the Tap program. The goal is to ban the sale of plastic water bottles in NYU buildings and to provide more stations for refilling water bottles. Weekly meetings were a great way to meet people with similar interests and to socialize, but at the same time, we worked towards making positive changes on campus. Check us out at the club fair!
