Travels with my Angst

Clean water is a basic human right. Everyone knows that and only an absolute moron would disagree. Our knowledge doesn’t explain why water sources continue to dry up and water prices continue to climb. This site lists a lot of companies that sell water.

Add Nestlé, Coca Cola and Perrier to this roll call of H²O producers and suppliers. In fact they don’t really produce anything … you do.
Your tax dollars at the municipal level are used to store, distribute and maintain a supply of clean water. In some areas money is used to recycle and purify water. This water is for drinking, agriculture, replenishing ground-water resources, and for creating a freshwater barrier. This barrier prevents seawater from contaminating fresh water.

What some of the bottled water companies do is take water directly from these reserves and they don’t pay for it. Then they charge customers a premium price for bottled water.

Nestlé’s CEO Peter Brabeck has some interesting thoughts on water.

On the other hand, Coca Cola says, “… water comes with the assurance of safety from The Coca-Cola Company. That is why we introduced … with reverse –osmosis along with the latest technology to ensure purity of our product. Because we believe that right to pure, safe drinking water is fundamental.” Yay Coca Cola.

Included here are some links to further develop an understanding of the realities and possibilities of water conservation and purification.

We just made it before the month long ban on alcohol sales. We had a good group – about 25 people – and it was a fun evening. We had a large number of new faces, from New York,Belfast,Finland, and of course from Surabaya. Thank you to everyone who came out. Special Thanks to Chris whose negotiating wizardry allowed the evening to come together.
