Tap water…reduces CO2
A lot of CO2 is emitted because of the transport and packaging of bottled water: an average of 202.74 g of CO2 is produced per liter of bottled water. With an average consumption of 181.4 liters of bottled water p.p./year, that’s a whopping three million tonnes of CO2 if all Germans were to switch to tap water. This adds up to 1.5 times as much as the domestic air traffic in Germany!
