UNICEF: World Water Day

Two buckets of safe water a day is the minimum a child needs to live, yet 4000 children die EVERY DAY because they don't even have that. For many, the dangers lie in collecting water -- a job often handed out to girls and women. Instead of attending school, a child may walk several hours a day to the nearest water source. Children's health improves and school attendance rises when water-pumps are installed in schools. UNICEF works around the globe installing latrines and pumps but 1.1 billion people still drink unclean water. Basic sanitation and hygiene education has a dramatic effect on reducing mortality and poverty.

Eye with natural water us them are out to destroy its fauna, envenénarla, destroying it, nezcle, coca cola and pepsi, now in Latin America and Africa, India, want to buy natural resources, selling it ten times more than that we worth paying, and thus busting our ecosystem, water belongs to the people not to corrupt government.

You would think that the Left and liberals would be thrilled by the numbers of humans dying from bad water--it helps skim the world's population, which they think is too high. This dilemma has them going around in a losing circle: they love humanity, but fear humans are destroying the planet's resource by existing. Twisted logic on their part! Can they have it both ways?

Is the producer Helena Bonham-Carter's sister? I'll bet you ten quid she is! Jolly ho!
