The sad reality is not many people could survive drinking water straight from a river. What is that doing for people with wells? The water I use to make my morning coffee is straight from the ground, and I shouldn’t have to have public water because the natural water is too polluted for me to drink. Big business pollutes more than their fair share, and is unregulated ”¦ seriously? It’s $200 if I litter a cigarette butt. Where is the equality?
