#water-resource
Teach your kids this:
Oil = energy (replaceable)
Gold = wealth (replaceable)
Money = tool (replaceable)
Bees = food (1/3 of what we eat)
Trees = air
Water = life
Nature is not a resource. It's the SOURCE.

Another item I am taking into the week: The debate over water‑quality standards in the Chesapeake watershed deserves more seriousness. Stewardship is not optional when the resource is shared across generations. #water #environment

Communities are fighting to restore their agricultural way of life. Long before agriculture, the valley supported a biodiverse aquatic ecosystem. That loss has disappeared from human memory.
In a once-lush valley, communities lead a fight to defend water — The Washington Post
Water in central Mexico’s Cholula valley has transformed from a shared resource into a costly and unevenly distributed commodity.

Water is a finite resource that is essential for life to exist.

What the fuck are we doing?

Why has no one else followed England in privatising life's most precious resource? 'Tis a mystery, alright...

Surely that's wrongful arrest. If the signs are blank then what crime has been committed? If people are bringing water to others who aren't committing a crime then how can they be arrested for supporting a crime. What a total waste of police time and resource, and all to support a genocide. Smh

I think sam altman should stop drinking water because it's a terrible use of a limited resource if he consumes it
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers

"From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

These people envision a future where "intelligence" (computing) as a utility like electricity or water. The part they never say is that naturally they will be the water barons.

The chutzpa to phrase it as utilizing a shared resource as if these motherfuckers won't maximize rent seeking ASAP

Miigwech (thank you) for amplifying this important issue. Native people usually vote for candidates who promise land and water protection policies. We understand harm reduction is necessary for resource continuation. Voter suppression of Natives is not an accident.

Kind of game where the Italians have higher water resource usage because they need more to boil pasta.

It’s basically how all these folks think about water too. “How dare these filthy peasants expect drinking water that should be used to make me money.” They feel entitled to every last resource.

Blatantly trashing our already weak water laws.

Changes include removing a rule that total water use by industry remains below a limit set in each water allocation plan, and requiring water resource management to comply with water allocation plans.
