Having access to clean water should be a right. While the search for fossil fuels causes war, water will be the missing link to peace.

I’ve actually tried New York City tap water, and I have to say, it tastes good. Also, I think it made my skin a lot clearer.

This is really random, but I’ve heard that New York has the cleanest tap-water in America because it’s filtered so many times. It’s true that people are so picky about their bottled water when tap-water is perfectly fine. In fact, it’s even better for you because it has fluoride in it, which is good for your teeth.

Everyone should have access to clean water, but should people be charged for it is a more difficult area to tackle. In the U.S., people try to avoid tap water for fear of it not being pure (even if it isn’t the case). I’m sure people in Africa or India who walk miles to get fresh water would love to have tap water. How depressing.

Besides recycling and keeping the environment clean, it’s important for those more fortunate who have access to clean water on a daily basis to help out by donating money for wells, etc.

This post deals with a pressing issue that is becoming more apparent in recent times- the lack of clean water in the world (especially third-world countries). Maybe by recycling more and keeping our environment clean, water sources won’t be so toxic?
