Bottled water is a little pet peeve of mine. I really enjoy when municipalities take action against it. Such as in New York where the city has campaigned to promote tap water, San Francisco which no longer allows city money to be spent on bottled water, and in my hometown of Moncton, New Brunswick, where the city bottled its own tap water and gave the bottles of away to promote the fact that the tap water is safe and sometimes even of a better quality.
