This is a very very good lecture...

Would it be possible to post again without Jerry Mander's introduction? I know it's disrespectful, but I would like to share this video without the- sorry- long and dull introduction. Thank you for posting this.

@ALFIEAJAPAN You obviously were not listening to what she was explaining..wich is taking to much of and destroying nature and the echo system. Get your head out your ass

@ALFIEAJAPAN There's nothing wrong with it until people start destroying the environment.

Ignoramus.

What's wrong with paying for something. She obviously had to pay for that hideous dress. And sure enough there was a cash register between the discount rack and her shopping bag.

If Suez charges for their service, they provide jobs, too. Ever think of that? It's how all the world works: called the economy. Want to graduate from a developing to a developed country? Try capitalism.

[ALFIEAJAPAN]

SUMMARY: Water controlled by 'a corporate cartel' :-( / make life and death decisions :-( / World Bank has forced Suez and Violia on developing world :-( / in Orange Farm, poverty as far as you can see :-( rats in gutter, no running water :-( / but finally :-) because in the constitution, have the right to water :-) pipes coming up to each block :-) and taps :-) / but between pipes and the taps there's a water meter :-(

All over the place, typical windbag, sounds exactly like Naomi Klein.
