Flow
This is a really unfortunate demonstration as to how greedy people are. The privatization of water, especially in developing nations, is ruining communities and forcing people to make terrible choices. And bottled water is the devil. It's no more regulated or better for you than tap water. And it ruins the communities it comes from. And the bottles are terrible for the environment. Don't drink it.
Unfortunately, most of the action items are global political changes. I'm not really into protesting or politics, so it's hard for me to feel like I can do much about this. At the end of the movie, the director put up a statement that they wanted the UN to pass the Right to Water resolution.
"On 28 July 2010, through Resolution 64/292,
the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human
right to water and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water
and sanitation are essential to the realisation of all human rights.
The Resolution calls upon States and international organisations to
provide financial resources, help capacity-building and technology
transfer to help countries, in particular developing countries, to
provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable drinking water and
sanitation for all." -- Source
Despite opposition from the US & UK. (Sigh.)
But good job for getting it passed!
Why are big corporations so greedy?
Do you drink bottled water??
