Iiiiiiiiitttttttttttttts World
Water Day! YAY! Another opportunity to talk about how much I dislike bottled
water! Sorry folks…
World Water Day is a day
dedicated to education the masses on the importance of making water a human
right, and also to bring awareness to the issue that many do not have access to
fresh, potable water. In North America, we are fortunate enough, particularly
in Canada, to have access to the water sources we do! This is one of the many
reasons it drives me crazy that so many people are foolish enough to purchase
(single serve) bottles of water! The purpose of this “product” is to sustain us
in times of emergency, not because it’s convenient or trendy! The impacts of
this practice are terrifying. If we all stopped drinking bottled water “just
because” many of our environmental issues wouldn’t exist!
So, I give you homework! Here are
a few docs to watch, so that you can understand the impacts of your decisions.
Also, here’s a Water.Org campaign
from spokesperson, Matt
Damon. While I think he brings attention to the issue, I’m not sure his
“protest” is taken seriously in the delivery of this video. Thoughts?
