DRINKING WATER ( 5 - 2001)
Are we being poisoned?
Yes we are being poisoned.
We are being poisoned by the lack of our government to protect us from being poisoned.
The people being poisoned want their governmental bodies to protect the uncontaminated areas of fresh drinking water as well as clean up and remove the sources of poisons from all drinking water.
The World is struggling to find fresh water. Here in the United States our government is letting the poisoning of our water continue. How much uncontaminated fresh drinking water is left? No one really knows. We have local, state, and federal governments that put the protection of drinking water on the bottom of their lists. The economics of profits and capital are more highly protected then our ability to have uncontaminated drinking water now and in the future.
In New York state the citizens are only able to stop the use of agricultural and landscape pesticides poisons, that are leaching into their drinking water, only after their water has actually become poisoned. Only then can a citizen demand that the poisoning end.
“Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth. According to the United Nations, more than one billion people already lack access to fresh drinking water. If current trends persist, by 2025 the demand for fresh water is expected to rise by 56 percent more than the amount of water that is currently available.”
In the United States factory farm feed lots are allowed to have earthen lagoons that hold animal excrement, which after flooding usually ends up in local waters.
Industries continue to release poisons into our water ways and aquifers with and without government permits.
The agricultural chemical industry continues to add poisons to the land, which will in time continue to poison our sources of fresh water.
Industries see water as a money cow of the future and are already buying up bottled water companies and wanting the privatization of public water supplies.
The industries that are making profits on the sale of poisons are intrinsically involved in the writing of federal, state and local laws that limit the ability of citizens to stop the poisoning of their drinking water sources.
Below are some links that can get you started on how our water is not being protected.
It is up to us to stop the loss of our fresh drinking water. Get educated, get involved.
