A friend of mine passed along this article today about our water supply. It's refreshing, no pun intended, to see more and more awareness about these types of problems.
One of the biggest issues that most people are completely unaware of is how tenuous our fresh water supplies really are. As more and more people move to the desert ( Arizona, California, Nevada ) the supplies will continue to deplete. This is before factoring the impact of global warming which will like make these regions more arid.
More importantly, what the heck is in the water that we currently do drink? Apparently, a lot of chemicals and drugs that we probably would rather not be exposing ourselves to.
So what are we to do? Drink more bottled water? That's certainly not the answer since most of the bottled water we drink is the same or worse for us than tape water. Plus, when you factor in the energy and landfill waste it takes to package and ship it doesn't seem worth it.
I guess the next time someone asks you what you have been drinking when you are acting a little weird you can reply.....just tap water!
