Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Eco-conscious Parisians can now get free, unlimited sparkling water at a new public drinking fountain which is intended to wean consumers off bottled water and on to tap.
The fountain was unveiled in the Jardin de Reuilly in the east of the city by a publicly-owned water company, Eau de Paris.
It injects carbon dioxide into regular tap water to make it bubbly and chills it before delivering it to consumers.
Separate taps also provide still water, both refrigerated and unrefrigerated, pumped directly from the Paris water pipes.
