It’s called the elixir of life. No, it’s not scotch, it’s water. Without it, we all die. If it’s contaminated, water carries diseases too arcane for a modern world, yet cholera, typhoid and dysentery still exist, causing millions of deaths each year. It’s understandable that clean, potable water is a global concern. But here? A couple of hours drive from Bow Glacier, the source of our drinking water? We talk about climate change, about environmental concerns and about reducing our carbon footprint. And we do this while swigging water from plastic bottles.
