Next time you’re out for dinner, smile and say, “T.eau, please.” That’s the goal of Toronto-based social change agency Manifest Communications, which has launched its own campaign to brand and promote Toronto’s tap water as T.eau.
The name T.eau was coined as a tongue-in-cheek way of nodding to the cool factor of bottled water. T.eau’s slogan “Get Tappy,” invites people to make a water choice that’s nothing but positive.
“Toronto’s tap water is award-winning and rigorously tested,” say Manifest President Mark Sarner. “But people still buy bottled when there’s an environmentally-friendly alternative available literally everywhere.”
“Our water is taken for granted,” says Sarner. “T.eau is a way of reminding people that it’s everywhere, it’s ours, it’s great—it really is something special. So let’s celebrate it.”

Clean water from the tap makes sense to me. Picture someone dropping here from another place. “Why do you carry around your water in a bottle when you have instant access to it all over the place? You are never more than a few dozen steps from a source of clean water…”
Perhaps we should also carry around batteries with us, plug them in when we need to take an elevator, or read an LED billboard, or use a cell phone. Er, scratch that last example.
