When in France… Drink Tap Water
That’s right, if you want to “do as the French do” on your next trip to Paris or Provence, better put down that bottle of Evian and grab a glass of cold stuff straight from the faucet.
Though France was formerly one of the world’s bottled water hotspots, according to the Guardian the number of tap-water-drinking Francais is up, and sales of the plastic are down.
That’s good news for the environment, since - as we’ve noted before on Pulse - the harm done by our obsession with bottled water goes well beyond just the piles of plastic in our landfills.
