Yesterday Seattle hosted the last of only two public EPA hearings on climate change at pier 66 on the Seattle waterfront. The hearings were designed to allow public comment on the impact of global warming and pollution to public health and welfare. Corporations that sell bottled water are rapidly depleting the natural resource that we need most…clean drinking water. They are buying up water rights at auctions for ridiculously low prices, sucking aquifers dry and selling that water back to us in bottles for an obscene profit. Much of this water is actually tap water. The bottled water industry and lobbyists have swayed our government to allow water rights to be auctioned off and the public right to drinkable water has been all but disregarded. |
