| Suzuki Tour Update: Bottled Water is Wrong |
09 February 07 |
Canadians wanting to do something about the environment can start by drinking tap water, says environmentalist David Suzuki.
"I think that we've got to drink the water that comes out of our taps, and if we don't trust it, we ought to be raising hell about that." Suzuki also pointed out that plastic water bottles generate waste and potential health hazards because of their chemical composition.
Suzuki made the remarks while in St. John's February 1st to launch his cross-country speaking tour - "If you were Prime Minister..." aimed at engaging people in politics, particularly environmental issues.
On his 50-city tour, David Suzuki will be visiting Winnipeg on February 20th. Manitoba Wildlands is hosting the event at the Burton Cummings Theatre at 7:30pm.
