PSU stu-
dents are get-
ting involved with
the ever-growing cam-
paign of wasting less wa-
ter. With multiple resources
being displayed around campus for
healthier water choices, the option of
avoiding plastic bottles is becoming easier
by the day.
The Food and Water Watch is a program that has
been campaigning its way through campus. The program
has offices throughout the United States. It wants to change
the way Americans utilize water in their everyday lives. Their
mission is to ensure that everyone has access to healthier foods and
cleaner water.
Food and Water Watch has multiple campaigns to help achieve their
mission. One campaign, Take Back the Tap, has a simple goal: to reduce
the amount of water bottles used across America. This program works spe-
cifically through campuses and universities to encourage the use of tap water
over bottled water.
The use of tap water, as opposed to bottled, has many benefits both environ-
mentally and economically. Take Back the Tap works through students to reach
their local schools and make a change for this cause.
Take Back the Tap has reached over 70 colleges across America and helped
pass full or partial bans on bottled water products. These campuses use
refillable bottles and grant easier access to tap water.
The importance of using tap water is becoming more and more
urgent as time goes on. Water bottles are wasting more resources
than they give, and ultimately end up in overflowing landfills.
By learning to save these precious resources,
students can help make a difference in their communities.
Become part of the change, and help
Take Back the Tap today.
