Renowned Italian restaurant, Del Posto, in New York City, is saying no to bottled water.
The green restaurant is following in the footsteps of many other restaurants in NYC and San Francisco who refuse to serve bottled water to their patrons.
Del Posto says they find it absurd to use packaged water when they have access to local water; especially since the scarcity of water has become a major issue in several parts of the world.
