Court ruling enables restaurants to refuse tap water, promoting bottled water use and environmental harm. | The ruling removes a consumer right to tap water in restaurants, indirectly promoting bottled water consumption, which increases plastic waste and environmental harm. This undermines SDG 6 (Clean Water) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption).
