UC student wins Take Back the Tap video contest

University of Cincinnati student Elizabeth Klein has submitted the winning video in the I *Heart* Tap Water Student Video Contest.

The contest was part of Food & Water Watch's Take Back the Tap college campaign, an initiative to encourage college students to organize their campuses and communities to cut contracts with bottled water companies and to promote the use of tap water.

According to Food & Water Watch, tap water is better for peoples' health, costs less, and is better for the environment.

The Take Back the Tap website provides petitions, how-to guides, educational flyers and other instructional materials that local communities can use to eliminate bottled water use in their area.
