Many have felt that New York City's drinking water is some of the most delicious (uh, those New Yorkers feel that way about everything!), but one company has decided to marry that sentiment with the greenest of intentions by bottling tap water and selling it as a product. (At least you know what you're getting.)
Tap'dNY is a New York City bottled water company with a local twist and knack for honesty. We don't travel the world from Fiji to France seeking water or offer the usual bottled water gimmicks. We work with NYC’s public water system to source the world's best tasting tap water, purify it through reverse osmosis and bottle it locally, leaving out ludicrous transportation miles. We offer an honest and local alternative to thirsty New Yorkers, giving them a smarter choice: to drink their own (award winning) water.

The problem isn't quite in the water we drink, specially not in mega cities with filtration system capable of filtering any harmful chemicals and bacteria, it's precisely in the fact that we are packaging it rather than drinking it from the tap. Therefore this product is harming the glaciers, an is actually one of the most useless expression of a global issue I've seen to date.
Hard to see how adding more plastic bottles to the landfill can be considered green. If you like local tap water, get a refillable bottle.
How does this product have the greenest of intentions? A simple ad campaign would have been much more effective.
These people should be flogged. There are no green intentions here, just marketing suits coming up with another way to pay nothing for a product and over charge the customer for it. All with a BS story to back it. Nevermind thousands more bottles that can now jam up the NYC trash bins and water ways.
If you want to do something green then tell people, "hey your tap water is awesome! Just fill up a bottle at home!'
Ugh. I got so sick on NYC tap water. And that was BEFORE I was told every glass goes through nine people. I'm all for tap instead of pretend-glacial-agua, but WTF??
