  4. @C_Ottenburg. Alleine der Blödsinn Wasser in Flaschen zu kaufen. Da musste ich gerade an den Sketch aus den 70ern denken. Ein Pub, in dem statt Alkohol #Wasser aus aller Welt ausgeschenkt wird. Je exotischer und weiter entfernt die Herkunft des Wassers, desto absurder und komischer die Reaktion. In den 70ern war das natürlich völlig lächerlich – heute ist es bittere Realität! Leider. Ich trinke aus dem #wasserhahn (1L ein Bruchteil von 1,- €)

  9. Water water everywhere?

    Sooo, I’ve been exploring online starting with a search onward from a sun tea recipe /method. But, reminds me that I know not a single person in the Phoenix area who likes the tap water. I bet there are not that many million plus populations in one area so united in opinion.

    Thus, getting enough water daily requires some thought. First off, this is not the thread for anyone to comment that we quit using bottled water. I am fine with the filtered water from our fridge. Britta filtered water is/was “okay but not great”. For bottled water I prefer the cheap kind but is reverse osmosis. I read in an article Icelandic bottled water is good. But not 5/5 good, only 3/5 good in this article. (Which is funny!)

    What do you prefer IF YOU HAVE TO BUY BOTTLED WATER? Just consider I bet most families are not conscientiously filling water bottles with filtered water. We do, but only one bottle per outing and it’s over 100° here most of the time now and for the next 4 months. So at times we need to grab bottled water to survive the next hour drive. #Water #BottledWater #FilteredWater

  14. MORRISTON: Hospital A&E ditches bottled water for jugs — saving more than £13,500 a year

    Patients in the emergency department at Morriston Hospital are now being offered water in jugs rather than single-use plastic bottles, in a change the health board says will save more than £13,500 a year.

    Bottled water is now kept for special circumstances only, such as barrier nursing or cases involving high-consequence infectious diseases.

    A new tap supplying chilled water has been installed so patients can be given fresh, cold water in the jugs provided.

    Those who would still prefer a bottle can buy one from vending machines in the waiting area, where jugs with lids have also been placed so visitors can help themselves.

    Health care support worker Ian Booth, one of the staff who led the change, said patients had noticed the difference.

    “This has been a really positive change within ED, because it’s not only helping our patients but staff too,” he said.

    “Patients have told us that they felt better looked after, and of course there’s major benefits to us in terms of cutting down our waste.”

    He said the new tap meant patients had easy access to fresh, cold water, while staff benefited too.

    The project was also driven by emergency department consultant Dr Sue West-Jones, one of three sustainable clinical leads within Swansea Bay and someone who has long combined her job with a passion for greener healthcare.

    “This has been a really beneficial project as it means we are now supplying fresh water for our patients and staff, while at the same time looking after our environment and finances,” she said.

    “In ED we are passionate about looking after our patients, planet and health board purse, and positive changes like this highlight the efforts that staff and the service are making.”

    The health board thanked the British Red Cross and its hospital voluntary team for helping to make the change happen.

    Part of a wider green drive

    The switch is the latest in a string of money-saving environmental changes at the hospital.

    The emergency department has form here: two years ago the same service was highlighted for its efforts to cut waste and work more sustainably alongside its day job of saving lives.

    The biggest savings have come from energy. Last year the health board reported that Morriston’s pioneering solar farm had saved more than £4m in energy costs, as ministers launched a plan to cut the carbon footprint of the Welsh NHS.

    Elsewhere across the health board, staff have found inventive ways to squeeze value from waste. In May, it emerged that thousands of old X-ray films from the cancer centre at Singleton Hospital were being destroyed — with the silver inside them extracted and sent to the Royal Mint, with the potential to end up in Welsh jewellery.

    Taken together, the schemes point to a hospital increasingly mindful of both its environmental footprint and its budget — with even a change as simple as a jug of water adding to the savings.
