Don't Let Big Companies Privatize Our Most Precious Natural Resource!
Target: CongressSponsored by: Food and Water Watch
Water sustains all life. We drink it, we bathe in it, we grow our food with it. We can't live without it. Yet today, water is being polluted, depleted and diverted at a rapid rate. One in six people lack access to clean water, and that number will increase if we don’t act now.
It is no wonder Fortune magazine calls water the oil of the 21st century - "the precious commodity that determines the wealth of nations."
Because water is scarce, there's a battle brewing over who owns it. Special interests want to exploit the water crisis for profit. It’s called water privatization, which means that the world’s largest corporations want to control the world’s water.
Tell Congress to renew their commitment to the Clean Water Act - one of the most important laws protecting the environment and public health - and promote the right to universal access to clean, affordable water.

In our lifetimes, water will be the most precious commodity to have. We had better start now if you don't plan on dying.

The obvious reason to protect water now is so that future generations have these resources. We want what's best for our children and our children's children. None of us can exist without part of God's creation which is water.

its not just big companies though. the people need to recognize how much of the water tables they've wasted on grass. local plants that don't require water allow future generations to have water whereas people wasting millions of gallons on grass will deplete all water tables and then there's the pollution and wasted energy cutting it. Save water and free your time.

There are three important things a human needs to live in the universe and those are Food,Air and Water without those resources humans will die. Being that Water is the main resource humans require Water to maintain their very lives. So with that said I urge you Congress protect the water we all need it to survive.
