    Also stop paying for filtered tap water when there’s nothing wrong with your specific tap water.

      Sadly not everyone has great chlorine-free water. One of the most annoying experiences every time I go abroad (for example to Italy)

        Quite true. Not everyone has lead-free water either. But people whose water is perfectly great do not need to pay for filtered water - especially not in single-use plastic bottles.

          Absolutely. I’m always drinking tap water at home, we have perfectly clear, chlorine-free, mineral-rich water directly from the mountains. One of my favourite aspects of Austria.

        I would have been more than happy to drink tap water and have my kids drink tap water.

        We’ve had a couple lead warnings though and I don’t want to fuck with it. They’re going to have a hard enough time with the misfortune of getting my genes. I don’t want to make it even harder for them.
