Nothing wrong with tap water




PHX valley tap water is hard water. And if you look closely enough you can see tiny minerals floating in it.

First thing I told my family when they moved here in 2016..."don't drink the tap water"

Again, cans.

And they make cans of water too.

And traveling with reusable water bottles is very normal. Weird thing for this board to have an issue with.



Arent aluminum cans equipped with a plastic lining?

Florida tap water tastes like sulfur infused arse.

I get being leery of the water fountains, but most major airports filter theirs so it's not like what's coming out of your own tap.

How many in this thread still buy cases of bottled water...in single use bottles for home use?

/End thread. Thank you, SuperSaint.

Yes, all of the aforementioned leave a carbon footprint. But not using plastic bottles or straws is a great small step. Imagine if everyone did that. A little adds up to a lot.

There's no shame in wanting to preserve what the good lord gave us here on earth. There's no planet B.

I couldn't tell you the last time I bought those.

And not even for plastic reasons. Those bottles are too small. I drink a gallon or more a day. That would be a frick ton of bottles or 4 refills of my "yeti" cup.

There's some serious mental gymnastics in this statement when you can:

- Just bring a tumbler and fill it up at a fountain.
- Buy a water with ice from one of the many places you can eat in an airport (hell even a damn Starbucks).
- Buy water in a can (that will likely be stocked in this situation).

Yes because that wont be an issue of sanitation now that you're basically encouraging everyone to use the same fountains. Airports are a breeding ground of cross contamination.

Open air cup? Again, airports are incredibly unsanitary places.

Lined with plastic anyways.

And aluminum cans have leaching issues every bit as much as plastic.

Is your point that it’s not worth trying to fix anything if you can’t fix everything?

Great. Now a bottle of water at the airport will only cost $20.

I do, as do practically everybody else.

If San Francisco is on a kick to ban plastic bottles in the airport for a month, what are they going to do about the needles they hand out to junkies on the street? That's not only plastic pollution, it's a biohazard for AIDS and Hep C.

Why though? If the water is for home use...it is incredibly wasteful to buy tons of individual water bottles for home use.


We use Brita pitchers and buy gallon jugs of water...then refill those at those water stations in front of grocery stores that cost like a quarter to fill up a gallon jug.

Because it's convenient, and you're the first person in my life of 45 years that I've ever come across that called it wasteful. There's 1,000's of other examples of stuff that we consume that could be just as wasteful, if you really want to get hypercritical. I mean come on, nurse. Look at the shite y'all waste in your very own profession.

that’s impressive. I aim for 60oz a day, but fail often to reach that goal.
