It's our problem too.

Water pollution/contamination affects all, plants & organisms living in or around the affected areas of water. Water pollution/contamination is suggested to be the leading to cause of worldwide deaths. If we don't fix the problem, it WILL be the leading cause of death around the world. Water pollution accounts for more than 14,000 deaths daily, that number is said to triple within the next ten years, if we don't do anything about our water supply now. The dangers of water pollution are evident. Heavy metals from industrial processes can accumulate in nearby Lakes & Rivers. Industrial waste, which contains, many toxic compounds, that can damage the health of aquatic animals & those who eat them. As in humans and out of water animals Water pollution is a cyclical process that we need to put an end too. Some of the toxins can cause immune suppression, reproductive failure & acute poisoning. Sewage also often results in infectious diseases that infect aquatic Life & terrestrial life through drinking water. What people need to realize is that if we don’t do anything about it now, then we’ll suffer in the Long run. Water won’t always be at our disposal if we continue the way we are. There is continuous over usage of this source, but what happens when there is no more? & all that we have Left is contaminated, polluted water. Then it won’t just be the war torn/foreign countries, with no water proper water supply’s problem. It will become ours.

I agree. With all the illnesses caused by toxic water and pollutants, you would think we would be doing something to purify the water we drink. And yet, in bottled water, there
have been studies that have proved we are paying more for something with more chemicals that is usually free. For what? Certainly not to support the big companies that produce it, who destroy the natural environment by pumping way more than they need? Not to mention the weeks it takes to decompose one of the billions of plastic bottles we pay for every year. For the price of a few bottles of water, you could buy a
filter. I think that we need to stop trying to find better water, more water to sell, and bottles to buy, and filter what we have. Why pay for something free?
If Quebec has the largest concentration of fresh water of any place in the world,
there should be no bottled water being bought by the residents, right?
Seems to me like the markets are all trying to improve what we have been given,
by re-inventing old objects and such. So why is it we can't find a way to make the water we drink, the water that makes us, safer for everyone? We all need it, so we should stop trying to sell it, and keep it safe.
