Water — Food & Water Watch
http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/water
"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 6 people —
more than 1 billion — lack access to clean water. And that number
will increase if we do not act now.

"What if you lived by the largest body of fresh water in the world
but could no longer afford to use it?
Residents of Highland Park, Michigan, known as the birthplace
of the auto-industry, have received water bills as high as $10,000;
they have had their water turned off, their homes foreclosed, and
are struggling to keep water, a basic human right, from becoming
privatized."

"If we wish to stop the atrocities, we need merely to step away from the isolation.
There is a whole world waiting for us, waiting to welcome us home."
