Local Water = Local Food
You love local foods. How about local water? Like local foods, tap water comes with some impressive climate credentials. It has lower transportation costs, less packaging and waste, and higher accountability. The people who produce it live right here in our community and are available to address concerns 24/7.
With bottled water, oil is used to make the plastic, diesel fuel is used to truck it, and both electricity and fuel are used to recycle the bottle. Imagine the bottom quarter of a bottle of water filled with oil. When you add up the energy costs, that's about how much fossil fuel gets invested in every bottle.
Here in Iowa City, a gallon of tap water costs you less than a penny! A real savings for your wallet and the environment.
Bottom line? Your faucet is a mighty tool for fighting climate change.
