LONDON (AP) - The British government says it will be drinking
water from the tap starting this summer.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government will phase out bottled
water in all of its departments.
Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell says the switch is one step
in a bigger program to make all government departments greener and
more sustainable.
The policy starts this summer. The Cabinet office says that
three departments have already been serving tap water at their
meetings.
Tap water uses 300 times less energy than the production of
bottled water and cuts out bottle waste.
