From the movie we watched before break we learned that many things depend on fresh water and many people are starting to realize this. People are buying property next to natural clean water sources all around the world and companies are starting to see the opportunities arising from the dependance of water. Yes, fresh water is in decline and there is not enough for everyone forever if we stay on our current path and that is just plain scary. Many people and companies are ahead of the game as far as understanding what power water will have and the rest of the world needs to get the picture. Everyone deserves water and everyone needs to help. I found most of my information from this: http://www.fastcompany.com/1739772/why-ge-coca-cola-and-ibm-are-getting-water-business
Please comment on how you feel this should be addressed or how you feel.
I never knew how much water was used to make products that contain no water at all. Seeing some of the images and facts from the video helped me grasp this concept. At first I thought that we need to provide incentives for more of these companies to find ways that reduce the amount of water, but then that would probably only encourage the use of other chemicals instead which are more detrimental to the environment.... I am currently not sure what other solutions to propose.
