It seems that if we gave up the current fashion for bottled water we could do a lot more towards 'saving the earth' than other energy-saving measures. Easy enough to get a 'sports bottle' and fill it from the tap. Lots cheaper for us all and sooo much less waste. Panorama is covering the subject tonight

Interesting isn't it?
Restaurants here could make a start by just giving tap water automatically. One thing we could look across the pond for an example. As soon as you enter an 'eatery' you get a glass of water, and refills whenever you like. Might help a bit with people drinking too much alcohol too?
