One might think water is water, but that is not always the case. True water snobs pride themselves on being able to pick out a 鈥淒asani鈥 water from a 鈥淰oss.鈥 The Office of Sustainability鈥檚 favorite brand of water, however, is the one with the least waste, so they decided to put drinking water to the test.
From noon to 1 p.m. on , representatives from the Office of Sustainability sat beneath Alumni Gateway with two water dispensers, one red and one blue. Each was full of still-cold water, anonymously representing two water types: tap and bottled. Passersby could stop and refresh on the hot day with a dixie cup of each and a task to guess which was bottled.
Wednesday鈥檚 water challenge was part of a larger concept, 2022鈥檚 Pollution Prevention Week. Hosted by the Office of Sustainability, the week of Sept. 19 through 25 hosts a plethora of sustainable events and information, including a Court Street litter pick-up Monday and a pollution prevention information table Tuesday.
