U.S. activists call for consumers to ban the water bottle"

Activists and environmentalists on Wednesday are rallying behind a U.S. campaign that aims to convince consumers to opt for tap water rather than bottled.

I think that it's great that more people are trying to be more environmentally friendly but this just strikes me as stupid. This is like telling people to use their bike instead of their car, it works perfectly for small trips but if you are going anywhere that is more than half an hour away, it is just a hinderance. People drink tap water in their houses but not as much when they go out. The idea behind bottled water is that it is convenient, you can take it virtually wherever you go, now it goes without saying that you cannot take a tap wherever you go. A different approach to this would be the organizations pushing for more environmetally friendly bottles.
