Cool quest. The number one question is: how to handle water without plastic. Suggested glass bottles for milk aren't effective here.

- Xylakant 7y agoTap water is superior to bottled water in many places and doesn’t need carrying either. Have a reusable (metal) bottle to take along. If you live in a place that can’t make tap water safe to drink, I’m sorry for you. You’ll probably have to stick to plastic. (There’s also bottled water in reusable glass bottles around here, but that’s really heavy)

- esotericn 7y agoIf you just extend the metaphor slightly and have tap water mean 'comes from a tap' rather than 'comes from a municipal supply' it still works. The supermarket that currently has thousands of individual plastic bottles could have a big tank with a tap on it. It sounds more like a trust thing. You need to know that the water is safe. If you know it's safe, you're good.
- ioquatix 7y agoIn Japan, in Chiba, for 500 yen, you can buy a 4 litre plastic bottle which you can reuse over and over again for drinking water from the local super market. Maybe you have a similar system available if you check.
- fiblye 7y agoNo reason not to just drink tap water. It's one of the few places in Asia where it's completely safe.
