STOP THE COMMODIFICATION OF OUR LAND, AIR AND WATER!

[Murgatroyd210]

Because of the rules, regulations and laws in place protecting our natural resources it is often very expensive for industry to produce an end product here in Canada that can compete on the world market. As a result, Canadians have already, and continue to, pay a price for the quality of water in our country. Saying that those who have clean water cannot deny it to (others) is, to me, quite wrong. In my opinion we have earned the right to deny who we give our water to.

Desalination is an expensive measure, and the salt water on our earth is also being contaminated daily with agriculture, oil and human waste. So this is a significant issue!

Blessings, Maude!

I support the work Maude Barlow does because it teaches all of us that water is important.

Sometimes we forget that.

People talk about fighting wars over water in the future, I bet its already happening.

Take a look at a model globe of the world and see how much of the surface is covered by water!!

We should know that desalination procedures can easily turn salt water into fresh water. The science is there and the market place will do it, if fresh water ever becomes scarce, it stands to reason.

The Maude Barlows and Al Gores of this world love setting up straw dogs, so they can knock them down!

Incredible!

@BertyBloggs Marilyn Waring explains how the ecconomic system is what needs to be changed so that there is no profit in cleanup or processing and value place on what is natural and left pure.
