Of the 1.2 billion gallons of water used by New York City every day, less than one percent is poured down the gullet.
"The vast majority of water is used for sanitation, toilets, showers, dishes, street sweeping, and the like," said Ian Michaels, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection.

"So even if all the bottled water drinkers came back to our system, the effect would be practically unnoticeable."

Although The Effects Would Be Unnoticable, If Switching To Tap Water Would Help The World By .5%, The .5% Can Add Up.  For Instance, If The Next City Were To Switch Over To Tap Water, Maybe Another .5% Would Add On.  If 20 States Switched, Perhaps 10% Of The Worlds Oil Can Be Helped Out By This Little Thing.

Of Course, The World Needs A Little Deviance To Survive.  If Such a Thing Were To Happen, Bottleing Companies Would Go Out Of Business In America Or Have To Cut Wages / Jobs, America As A Whole May Be Faced With A Major Job Crisis.

Out of curiosity, doesn't it take you more effort to capitalize every word than it would to just write normally (and less annoyingly)?  Or do you have some nifty auto-capitalize proggie on your computer that enables the annoyingness?  Or maybe you're just using CSS styling in your comments?

Whatever it is, please stop, I beg you.  Your comments weren't uninteresting, but dang did you go out of your way to make them hard to read!

Sorry.  My Computer Has A Font Prog That Does This Whenever I Type In My Browser.  I'mve Just Been Too Lazy To Turn It Off.  

Of course, now that someone has asked me to turn it off, i will .  And very sorry for the annoying posts.
