Last night at Snack, the Environmental Crusaders held an event for their Tap Water Campaign. Everyone hates the stuff that comes out of the tap at CMC (cloudy with a funny taste), so many students revert to the environmentally harmful bottled stuff. The Crusaders ran a taste test-- providing both bottled water and filtered tap water for students to sample. Club member Joe Swartley '11 reports, "We got a surprising number of people to stop by, and most of them found the filtered tap water to be tastier than the bottled water. "
Okay, so this wasn't exactly scientific, but still great news if some people were convinced to start using a filter.
The Crusaders hope to hold more events at Snack in the future-- stay posted for their next move.
