Water Water where?

Hello!!

Welcome to R.A.G.E.

Coming to you from occupied Amiskwacîwâskahikan

And folks we should be raging like a beautiful river through a sun touched forest, alive and vigorous. Instead our rivers are strapped, walled, fed poison and sucked dry.

A special hello to all beings out there that depend on water for life. There nothing like a full clean drink of water, is there. Look fast, there is the Wetiko coming with a market on his back.

Today we are talking with Sheila Muxlow Water Campaigner for the Prairie Chapter of the Sierra Club. We look at the issue and what the Alberta Government is planning for water. I put this up a little a while ago and it bares repeating Is the Alberta government water law going to leave you high and dry?

We also reference Derrick Jensen’s article Forget Shorter Showers

What I really like about this campaign is so far is that is not turning citizens into consumers and telling them to consume less it is taking on those who are taking the most water, industry.

here is a quote from the report

“That is, water can move from one use to another higher value use that offers more benefit to society overall. A more
economically beneficial use is one that translates into a higher Gross Domestic Product, more money circulating in a
community, more tax dollars, etc. Typically, as water moves up the value chain it is used more efficiently and productively,
which supports the outcomes of the Water for Life strategy.”
