If the Basics are Bad...

Over the past few years, over 20 percent of Water Treatment Plants have been found to been providing contaminated water tho the citizens that rely on them. Dangerous chemicals or bacterial found in sewage have been recorded to be within the populations drinking water. Even though it is not known yet how many health problems it has caused, unclean drinking water is known to negatively effect the health of a population. This also shows yet another instance that we are poisoning our environment, pouring pollution into not only our atmosphere, but our drinking water as well. At this day in age, we can no afford to have unclean drinking water as well as the other contaminates that are constantly around us. We are already constantly at battle with carcinogens, unnaturally chemicals in foods, and waves which we still do not know the effects of. We are turning out world into a place that is hostile to life, and yet companies that can keep us healthier for even a little longer are starting so ignore regulations. I find this a scary concept, and not something I have thought about, because of where I live, I didn't think that the lack of clean drinking water would ever effect me.
