Drinking tap water cuts both your bills and your carbon footprint - and more of us should be drinking it wherever we are, including in restaurants, at work and at home! Just look at these killer facts (provided by Wessex Water's website):*Bottled water costs 500 times more than tap water.
*One in five people are too embarrassed to ask for tap water in a restaurant.
*The average person drinks 37.6 litres of bottled water each year.
*2.7 million tonnes of plastic are used to bottle water each year.
*22 million tonnes of bottled water are transferred from country to country each year.
*Three out of four plastic water bottles are still not recycled.
*Bottled water has a carbon footprint up to 300 times higher than tap water.
