If you have not yet read the article on America’s Toxic Waters published by the New York Times this week, may I suggest you check it out. While I have been reading about concerns with our water supply more and more this year, this article really hit it home for me. I was outraged. This should not be happening.

These individuals do not have a choice but to drink (and brush their teeth with) water out of plastic bottles because their tap water is toxic. Everyone has a right to clean drinking water. Something needs to be done to ensure that companies who are violating the Clean Water Act are punished and correct their behavior. The New York Times has set up a web page on which you can look up water pollution violations in your area. You can take action by going to the Food and Water Watch website.
