How to boost the bottled water industry

The Evening Standard’s campaign for tap water in restaurants is being given good coverage – at least in their own newspaper. It’s a good cause as well. Why should we encourage the bottled water industry to jet the stuff all over the world, when we are also paying through our water rates to clean the stuff in the taps?

But then, won’t those who sell bottled water be delighted by government plans to put fluoride in the water. I’ll be buying a lot more bottled water myself just to avoid the government’s compulsory medication.
