Take back the tap

Hello!


Well, as expected it was all a doom and gloom film, but it does let you wonder on what the future of your kids and my kids will be. I didn't know this seeing that I use water at will, I can open the tap and leave it running at will, while in Africa it is counted drop by drop, heck they even have days when the water is cut off because of rationing. Did you know that 97% of water on this planet is useless to us? Only 3% of it is good for human consumption. And we're messing up the water/earth cycle increasing soil erosion and very big companies are popping up privatizing water. Obviously the poor countries will suffer first but the rich ones will soon follow through.


It's scary, I'm in a place where I don't care where my water comes from or who suffers because I'm getting it free. But apparently my daughters and grandkids will eventually feel the pinch unless we change our ways of managing the water. I'm not going to play blaming games here, I'm as guilty as the next guy and I surely wish that we can get a hold of this problem because once it's gone, it's gone for good and we will all suffer from it. Once again if you want to be scared into properly managing water the name of the film is "Blue gold:world water wars". This film will change the way you think about water managing and about the big companies who are right now profiting from this. I think that water and air should remain what they are, free for anyone who requires it.


Well I am off to the meeting, hope you have a wonderful day and see you soon.


Take care people!
