The city of New York has launched a campaign to encourage the drinking of tap water. Ironically, despite the healthy allure of bottled water, their effect on the environment is undoubtedly negative. Most plastic containers end up in land fills, use up energy during transport, and require refrigeration. Springs and rivers used as bottling sources suffer a significant reduction in output and flow, with dire consequences to local wildlife. For club-soda enthusiasts like myself, home carbonation systems that were very popular in Israel in the '70s (see picture), and offer a green, economic alternative to the bottled alternatives. However, I have not been able to find a product that can handle more than 1 liter. The alternative is to buy several, but they are quite expensive, I found.
