A World Without Water
As less and less water is available, you have yet another problem being added and that is the problem of privatization. There are companies now saying ‘why don’t we bottle it, mine it, divert it, sell it, commodify it.’ That greed of privatization, I believe, will be much worse than climate change and everything else that has left us with the water crisis. The world is running out of its most precious resource. True Vision’s timely film tells of the personal tragedies behind the mounting privatisation of water supplies.
More than a billion people across the globe don’t have access to safe water. Every day 3900 children die as a result of insufficient or unclean water supplies. The situation can only get worse as water gets evermore scarce. (Excerpt from channel4.com)
Watch the full documentary now
Everyone must watch this.
A nice documentary, complimentary to “Flow, for the love of water”.
Good macroeconomic and political insights on the reality of water depletion.
Watch it
I noticed when the world map was shown pointing out areas of the world that had had their water privatized, the US had no places with privatization. I find that odd, considering Europe seems to be privatized. But I hope it stays this way here.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight but rather the heros heart.
This documentary inspired every emotion from me… I agree with Tyler; everyone should watch this.
We should learn to share our flouride , Atenolol ,Atrazine,Carbamazepine,Estrone , Gemfibrozil, Meprobamate , Naproxen, Phenytoin, Sulfamethoxazole, TCEP , Trimethoprim Tainted water! While the US government regulates the levels of pathogens in US drinking water, there are no rules for pharmaceuticals and other compounds.
Wouldn´t it be possible to place a factory like coke near the sea so they could use their money and technology to clean seawater. Seems a bit more difficult for the farmers to do so.
Getting frustrating that this vids are standing still at
particulair parts:S
We will all die!
Sad. And scary. More good reasons not to buy Coca-Cola!
Is water the issue or is money the issue?
wasn’t all water ‘fresh’ before someone decided a factory was a better way to make money?
so now that making money has poisoned our ‘fresh’ water, we are forced to use money to buy clean water.
Isn’t that an *** backwards concept?
Shouldn’t they figure out a better way to re-purify all the water they’ve polluted, instead of charging more for the water that’s left?
Cuz our water used to be fresh remember?
When did big business decide that we needed our water purified?
Right after they poisoned it, i guess.
So who is the real culprit?
The same people that are making money off situations they created.
Factories pollute water to this day. Polluted water means more sick people. The pharmaceutical industry is booming. Also, the Water business (which should be an oxymoron as we all (plants and animals included) need water) is booming. The police riot gear business is booming. The supermarket and fast food business is booming. But who reaps all the benefits? I assure you, everyone, everywhere owes the WORLD BANK. So who is really in charge when you don’t find a way to get your own commodities? Not you, but them.
And it doesn’t really matter who ‘they’ are. You gave up your freedom a long time ago when you let the nameless, faceless, ‘them’ take control of the things you NEED to survive. And what did you trade it all for? MONEY. You traded your LIFE for MONEY. You cannot live without MONEY. The whole world runs on money and if you don’t have enough you will eventually starve and die.
Animals don’t use money, why should we?
Cuz we’re more evolved?
Less evolved if you ask me. Any animal can provide itself and its offspring with enough food and water and shelter to survive, can you do that? ‘SURE, with enough money’ you say. And yet you have signed your own life away. Alas I feel sorry for you, and send you as much Love and Light as I possibly can. For you have given away your freedom of choice. The only thing that was ever yours to begin with. No you will go and try to ‘buy’ it back. GOOD LUCK.
Better option. Get out of the system. How? A great book once said ‘seek and ye shall find’
