RE: Cape Town's water apocalypse

in #life7 years ago

Definitely Dearie! Water is everyone most important necessity to survive, and we as human beings have a fundamental right to clean and portable water for consumption. So sweetheart, it is time the great Coca-Cola hear the voices of your beloved people on this water crisis;-

Water is a human right -- but millions of people in Cape Town are days away from running out of it -- the first major city facing this existential crisis! One major player is keeping quiet: Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola's water consumption in South Africa is massive: it produces almost 40 different soft drinks and bottled water, and has a huge stake in producing beer. But beyond vague promises to reduce consumption and protect water sources, the company hasn't accepted any responsibility to ensure residents have access to water when Day Zero arrives.

12 April 2018 is Day Zero, when Cape Town’s 4 million residents are expected to be without water service in their homes for at least 150 days. Three years of drought, and poor management and planning by national and local governments have led to this point. Bottled water companies stand ready to profit from this human and ecological disaster.

Great writeup! I read every word. Keep steeming Sweetheart.
