    Green Tip!
    Here's our Green Tip:
    We know that Dasani is just filtered Philadelphia tap water and that Aquafina comes from Queens, but, boy, do we love the stuff! It's three times more expensive than gas, it's consistently indistinguishable from tap water in blind taste tests and a third of it was found polluted by the National Resources Defense council in a recent test (www.oaklandmagazine.com). Americans each drank nearly 30 gallons of the life-giving elixir last year, contributing 179 bottles to the waste stream. Break the cycle.
    Buy a Brita filter and a nalgene bottle from the Chapman Gift Shop in Argyros Forum.
