Absolutely not something to be given for granted.

You can lower your microplastic exposure by 90% by drinking tap water.
I’ve got tapwater in plastic bottles next to my bed to get my daily dosage of microplastic.
Non acidic, cold liquids in plastic are generally fine.
No, not really. Plastic is constantly flaking, even your skin damages it releasing millions of particles.
But does it have what plants crave?!
I’ve lived in both Copenhagen and Norway.
Copenhagen: decent, but super chalky so feels like you’re still thirsty after drinking.
Norway: best I’ve ever had (bottled or otherwise). Though I’m Norwegian so I might be biased
You need to go to Jutland in Denmark for tasty drinking water.
Fellow norwisen on Lemmy! Proboly biased as norwisen water is mostly from cold places and not been far streaming so not much minerals or salt in it! Doesnt mean its unhealthyer!
Should we make norwisen Lemmy community??

Where I live the tap water is fantastic. If you like non-carbonated water you dont need to buy water.
It drives me nuts, we have some of the best tap water here. There are stricter guidelines for tap water than they have for bottled water, but i see so many people buying shopping carts woth of plastic garbage with crappier, more expensive water inside.
CO2 saturators are cheap. I love carbonated water and all I buy is a gas bottle fill every two months or so for 15 euro, on top of that I don’t need to carry any heavy bottles upstairs.
Water? Like in the toilet?
Tap water here has a lot of calcium in it. Good for drinking but without filtering it would destroy my espresso machine in a month.
Pretty good. The tap water here is very clean. Nobody really buys water bottles from stores here unless they want sparkling water.
Donuts replaced by tap water?
That’s their drinks/bar logo
In my million dollar house in Montgomery county Maryland?
Just fine.
Mine is decent in Northern England. Scotland wins, though. Their tap water is exceptional in most places.
I’m down south, and I like my water good and chewy thank you very much.
(It all gets filtered before it goes in the kettle or the coffee machine though; man can only consume so much gravel)
