I believe that the design, production and encouragement to use these
butts is one of the best environmentally friendly moves of our time.

I can't see the connection between saving water and the effects on the
environment.
Um, I don't think I mentioned *saving* water. It's the USE of water which
has an effect on the environment.
If we don't use tap water when we don't need to that saves a lot of
processing which is not environmentally friendly at any stage although the
processing is far better now than it used to be.
If we use roof water to grow vegetables (or even flowers) rather than it
just running into the drains that saves a lot of processing ... see above

I agree water is precious in that it is essential but it is not in short
supply.
The means of distribution and storage are poor and any attempt to rectify
the problem would impact on the profitability of the suppliers.
