Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

Stop the insanity.
so many years ago.
Works for me
So why do we buy bottled water again?

Bottled water isn’t displacing tap, it’s displacing bottled soda.
But for those who do really need water when they’re out, public drinking fountains work wonders. We should mandate those be available everywhere.
Prior to the 1960s, it’s what most people did for hundreds of years.

Probably doesn't explain everyone's situation, but this was mine. I didn't want to drink straight-up tap water anymore.
My error was I waited too long to figure out how to install a filter. lol
IT'S AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS PROBLEM
However...
People who can afford to live in NYC don't live on food stamps
It sounds like you are labeling people
Someone on food stamps bought bottled water in a case doesn't mean many of them do. It's allowed.
