is san francisco's city water better than bottled water?
as reported by the associated press, san francisco's mayor gavin newsom decided it's so. he's issued an executive order banning city departments from buying bottled water, even for water coolers. the ban takes effect july 1, and will extend to water coolers by december 1.
when the mayor announced the decision, he cited the environmental impact a single plastic bottle has on the environment, not to mention that most end up in the state's landfills each year. the cost of making, transporting and disposing the bottles is extremely damaging.

That's awesome -- kudos for him! Consider all the plastic we use and discard from a single bottle of water, soda/pop, juice, etcetera -- we all like to be portable (and potable!), but by drinking what we *think* might be better for us and isn't necessarily so, we're destroying more than we're saving.
