Oil and water shouldn't mix
I've noticed a trend here that strikes me as a good sign. I've seen two or three people drinking water out of glass bottles they've obviously refilled. This solves the perennial water bottle challenge of taste (how many discussions have you heard about the latest, greatest new sports bottle?), and is so much better for the environment (and health) than buying bottled water.
Here's a great photo created by David Coale of Acterra, who worked out how much oil is takes to ship a bottle of water from its source to California. You'll see the oil floating on the top.
Can you ever buy Evian again?
