783 million of the 7 billion people on the planet
do not have access to clean water
------
I understood when I was just a child that without
water, everything dies. I didn’t understand until much
later that no one “owns” water. It might rise on your
property, but it just passes through. You can use it,
and abuse it, but it is not yours to own. It is part of
the global commons, not “property” but part of our
life support system.
