Restaurant Pledge to Eliminate the Sale of Bottled Water
Key Facts
- • Tap water is better regulated and safer than bottled water, and is tested multiple times a day, and a free report on the quality of your water can be acquired from your local water utility.
- • Filtering tap water can effectively remove contaminants and unusual taste at a fraction of the cost of bottled water.
- • Up to 40 percent of bottled water is just reprocessed tap water; no government agency tests bottled water, and the Food and Drug Administration has less than one full-time employee devoted to bottled water oversight.
- • Plastic bottles can leach unhealthy chemicals into the water.
- • Over 86 percent of empty plastic water bottles in the United States land in the garbage instead of being recycled, resulting in two million tons of plastic waste each year.
Join our campaign to take back the tap by pledging to eliminate the sale of bottled water.
