MS Kong Harald's restaurant has no concern for environment. Every day a huge quantity of plastic bottles are wasted as the restaurant refuses to offer water from the tap (as any restaurant in the world would do) but compels us to buy small bottles of water. It is both and environmental and a commercial scandal.
