Branding tap water.

This is what Tappening.Com is trying to do – an organization committed to raising awareness and advocate for tap water use.  It seems like a new organization/site, and they greenwash you a bit as well (by seeing if you want to buy BPA-free plastic bottles or stainless bottles).  I’m guessing you already have one of these.  The cool thing about this site is they have a national (US) tap water quality database.  Hopefully Canada will be included next.

I’m personally at a loss with Bisphenol-A, it’s already in everything else.  No reason to keep it around or anything, but we surround all of our food and other goods in petroleum-based materials in the first place.  I’m going to a conference in Burlington in a month or so and there’s a whole session on Bisphenol-A.  Should be interesting.

My next mission is to find out if any long term studies have been done on the effects of plastic on food.  I can’t imagine always having organics on your lettuce can be good. Although it’s not like there aren’t any toxic organics on the lettuce itself.  Sigh.
