Tap water pledge

TAP WATER PLEDGE

I pledge to support publicly-owned and delivered water by drinking tap water instead of bottled water for the following reasons:

Water is a human right and a public resource;
Canada has one of the best public drinking water systems in the world and municipal tap water is safer, healthier and more regulated than bottled water;
Bottled water requires massive amounts of fossil fuels to manufacture and transport, and it takes three to five litres of water to produce a one litre plastic bottle of water;
Bottled water companies use municipal water sources, groundwater and surface water, when over one-quarter of Canadian municipalities have faced water shortages in recent years;
Bottled water creates excessive amounts of physical waste when communities in Canada face a waste management crisis.

Only your name and city will appear on our website. All other information will remain confidential and will not be shared with third parties.

Take the pledge
