Gavin Newsom "Takes Back the Tap"

Curbed SF tipped us off that our Greeny "McDreamy" McGreen mayor, Gavin Newsom, was at the Ferry Building today handing out aluminum water bottles in an effort to "Take Back the Tap." Take Back the Tap is an initiative trying to get more San Franciscans to drink tap water. They are also trying to convince San Francisco restaurants to serve tap water by passing out “A How-To Guide for the San Francisco Restaurant Switch to Tap Water." By getting restaurateurs to pledge use of the tap, San Francisco can help reduce waste by helping eliminate plastic bottles.

So, in the name of San Francisco's tap water being among the healthiest in the nation, Newsom spoke to the masses reporters about how safe SF tap water is while everyone the press was roasted in the hot sun during his speech. Nothing like getting everyone dehydrated before offering them an aluminum water bottle to fill from their own sink. Way to go, Gav!
