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. Wouldn’t it make sense that for every public trash can there be a recycle can next to it? The City of Seattle has announced a revamping of its recycling program starting March 30th. The goal is to make the process simpler and increase the number of individuals who recycle, reducing the amount of garbage to be processed. The new program will allow residents and businesses to reduce, reuse and recycle more than ever before. |
