For a city with so much water, it will come as no surprise that water is high on the agenda in Amsterdam. Waternet purifies all Amsterdam’s drinking water and is researching ways to use cold lake water to cool offices.
Join the Pipe is an Amsterdam-based organisation that stimulates drinking tap water instead of bottled water. They are introducing tapping points throughout the city with the money raised going towards helping create a drinking water infrastructure in parts of the world where this is currently lacking.
