If you follow The Water Blog you probably know by now that we’re on Twitter (Portland Water). While exploring Twitter the other day, I asked it to search for a variety of water-related key words, one being, “bottled water” and another being “tap water.”
I received an astonishingly large lists of Tweets dealing with these two topics and thought I share some of them so you can wrap your mind around the major conversation being held about this subject — it seems to seep into every part of people’s lives:

Hey now :) Back off with the “enough already!” LOL. Just kiddin’! I understand — the conversation does get overwhelming and exhaustive at times — I just thought it was funny to see all the different ways in which people were talking about bottled and tap! :)
Enjoy.
