Thirsty Thursday

man i'm talking about water here. to tap or not. last thursday on fb two opposing disheartening posts popped up. one on bottled water (posted by Krisanne) which just further confirms why it's not any better than tap or possibly in many cases worse. one posted by Tabitha on natural gas companies pissing on our natural resource, water, from the Delaware River. And this is happening in my friend's home town, devastating impact on the water... leaving chemicals and methane.

a quick animation of fracking:


marcellus shale drilling. after reading the vanity fair article this video is also deeply disheartening, it's the other side of the story from the politicians and industry. the visuals help understand the article.

being a renewed fan of the library, i checked out Peter Gleick's book, Bottled & Sold, The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water.

and my next movie to watch is Gasland which i first heard about on the drive to demf from Yulka which inspired this post to better this local natural gas and water issue.
