Starbucks locations around the city keep tap water running throughout the day, following a company policy that environmental advocates decry as wasteful.The coffee shops keep a small sink device called a "dipper well" running to keep utensils used by baristas sanitary between use. Company policy, which applies to Starbucks worldwide, requires water in the well to be running at a low stream during operating hours."It doesn't take an ecologist to tell you that this is an awful waste of water a precious resource," said Katherine Nadeau, water and natural resources program associate with Environmental Advocates of New York."I'm sure that there are [other options] and I hope that Starbucks takes this very seriously and finds other alternatives. Drinking water isn't a renewable resource and to be pouring it down the drain non stop all day long is horrific."
That really is a crime...
