Environmetaly correct people drink water from the faucet.

People who are truly green drin water from the faucet.  To buy water in plastic bottles is not enviromentally responsible.  Filetered water is a beter option but the plastics used to create the filters is not bio-degradeable.  If you think that tap water tastes bad, try explaining that to some Africa child who has little, if any, clean water to drink.  They would gladly drink the tap water that some people turn their nose up at.

Why, in my day, we drank free tap water and loved it. And all that fluoride in the water kept my teeth cavity free. Only snobbish, wasteful, polluting people drink bottled water. ;)

I drink from my faucet all the time. More often than not, bottled water comes from Tap water anyway, just read the label. People think they can tell the difference between tap and bottled water, but recent studies show in fact that most people can't tell the difference.

Although, as was pointed out to me, I think it's important to note that this usually isn't as dichotomous as it sounds. Most of the time it's not a choice between bottled and tap, it's a choice between bottled water and bottled soda, and so many people go with the water for health reasons. Bottled water is displacing soda consumption. If you have a faucet or water fountain near you, it is much better for the environment.

Side: True

No, because having running water in your home requires energy to be consumed for pump and filtration stations, so they should go and drink from a creek.

OK, I'll support that. ; )

That is, if you don't mind water-borne diseases. Municipal water sources have an environmental impact on an order of a thousand times less than bottled water.

environmentally correct people have water bottle or bladders and reuse them by filling them up at a natural water spring or associate who has a fluoride free water filter.

Environmentally correct people do not subscribe to fluoridation of public drinking water.
