The recent arrive of heavy rains have brought flooding and power outages to many lower mainland homes and now they have a problem with turbidity and ground water contamination. As with most rich industrialized nations what is their answer? Their answer is but bottled water! Hey well it helps the economy but what about the environmental impact that water bottles, which are made from petro chemicals have on global warming. Our hunger for water is also a hunger for oil, which is the very reason why wars are being waged - all at the expense of the environment. I say stop buying bottled water, boil it. Even better encourage local potters to build ceramic water filters to eliminate bacteria and turbidity. Two such organizations are Potters for Peace and the newly formed Potters Without Borders.

Floods Yes, flooding always opens the door to contamination not to mention the washing away of the soil. You cant plant foood or crops for a while or drink the water. That sucks!
