RACHEL PERRY WELTY, artist:
I'm so over bottled water, not that I was ever a big user. . . . It's an embarrassment on many levels. There's the waste of resources - not only the bottles themselves, but the fossil fuels used to get the water from one location to another. And then there's the pervasive brain-washing we've received to distrust our water supply, when in reality we have some of the best quality water in the world. Also, why do people need to walk around with this pacifier? I would like to see a national competition for the design of a sanitary, sturdy, and beautiful public water fountain so that there would be two water fountains for every public restroom in every community.
