Britons begin to lose thirst for bottled water
The UK’s thirst for bottled water appears to be drying up. New figures show that sales are falling for the first time in years.
Shop sales of bottled water fell by 9 per cent to £284 million in the year to March, according to independent retail analysts TNS. Restaurant and water cooler sales have also fallen, although not as dramatically.
Green groups said they hoped the figures suggested the public was turning away from bottled water because of the environmental costs of packaging and transportation.[Observer]
