This is a guest post by Jae Williams, a rising sophomore at Dougherty Valley High School in Northern California.

A few months ago, I was watching a video on Youtube by nigahiga, who does popular and funny lip-syncs.  It was about these GlobalTap fountains in the San Francisco area. There was even one in the San Francisco Airport! Basically, a GlobalTap fountain is a public fountain designed for reusable water bottle. Each fountain is a clean, filtered, completely free source to refill a reusable water bottle. This promotes use of an eco-bottle instead of individual plastic water bottles.

A few weeks later, I was traveling through the San Francisco Airport and look what I found!

Sure enough, there was the GlobalTap fountain in the food court. I did take advantage of the opportunity and filled my own eco-bottle.

I think this is a great way to get people involved in using eco-bottles and helping the environment. To check out more about GlobalTap Fountains and locations, click here. Happy sipping!
