I refrain from drinking mineral water because it is indistinguishable from tap water, but others claim that it, too, has an unacceptable carbon footprint.
"LONDON -- London Mayor Ken Livingstone on Tuesday [February 19, 2008] launched a blitz against bottled mineral water, urging restaurant customers in the British capital to ask for tap water to help the environment.
Livingstone said tap water was not only cheaper but also comes without the heavy carbon footprint of transporting bottled varieties by road and often vast distances by air from countries as far away as Fiji and New Zealand."
