SAM CAN YOU SEE THAT BIG GREEN TREE ?
DIRTY WATER
“We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one” Jaques Yves Cousteau.
On the 12th July, I wrote about why I choose Water as my Personal #1 Climate Issue. Water covers approx 71% of Our Planet’s surface, yet less than 1% of that is fresh, drinkable water…. and we share that 1% with all other creatures, plants and Industry. Less than 1% of that 1% is the Human Drinkable share, much of which is becoming Increasingly Polluted. OUCH !! The Human body is 45 to 75% water, with brain and organ tissue water content significantly higher. OUCH AGAIN !!
There can no longer be any doubt that climate change is - A) Happening, B) Accelerating, C) Man Made.
Nor can it be Honestly Denied that - A) We are all responsible, equally, for the causes And solutions, B) Personal Greed (consumerism) & C) Corporate Greed (Wealth Concentration) is the Driving Force, C) The Petrochemical Industry is the foremost link between Greed and Planetary Suicide.
OIL and WATER Don’t Mix.
Think then - would you drink any of the liquids in your car engine ? Dumb question, huh ?? Actually you have been consuming such poisons since the extraction of coal and oil began. Petrochemical vomit is inside you already, causing illness and death. When you pee & poo the contamination just goes back into the environment and back round again. Human waste contains your daily diet of Nano plastics , washed down by PFAs that are not removed during filtration processes. Nowadays, much untreated excreta is simply dumped into our rivers and oceans by FOR PROFIT private water companies. CHEERS !
OK; so quite a lot of water gets naturally filtered as it seeps deeps into rocky strata, only to arrive in poisonous plastic bottles at your dining tables….. CHEERS ! Alarmingly, so much deep groundwater has been pumped that Our Earth’s spin has been altered !!
QUESTION - So, er, who pays for all of this ?
ANSWER - YOU DO !!
Every time you put fuel in your vehicle, Every time you buy something that has been transported from a distant source, Every time you fly, Every time you feed your loved ones with chemically fertilized, plastic wrapped, processed food. YOU PAY with your money and you pay with your Health. And Politicians Give your taxes to the Oily Perpertraitors* of this Madness. Let’s be clear - I know as well as you do, that the Madness cannot be stopped …. “JUST LIKE THAT” Yet to attempt nothing to change our Lemming Style Rush is surely an even greater madness……
Read, Read, Read, Discuss, Protest Peacefully, Grow your Own, Advocate, Vote Green or Centre Left, Drive Less, Fly Less, Decide, Act, and remember - We - Love - Water.
CHEERS ! GOOD HEALTH !
*:- No, it’s not a spelling mistake….
N.B. As a young boy watching films of cowboys or soldiers struggling in the Desert, I often heard a song on the radio… “Sam can you see that big green tree, where there’s water running free, and it’s waiting there for you and meeee, water, cool clear water !” Sam was the parched horse of the dying cowboy looking at a distant (mirage or oasis). This image is still with me, an encapsulation of Hope and Determination.

Your song from the radio. Cool, clear, water. Makes you thirsty just to listen to it. I had my dose of petrocarbon bottled water to hand, no worries.
