Blue Gold

While watching, Blue Gold there was number of thoughts that went through my head. What happened to start this "crisis" and if the cooperations are selling all this water for as much profit, then how are we in a recession. it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Lets start out with why this all got started. what I got from the film was that industrialization covered the land and didn't allow the water to soak back into the earth and continue the cycle. Apparently we are using too much of the water, I find it to be a really simple solution. Theres a million things that we are doing as a society that is wasteful to our water sources. For one, everyone insists on washing their cars at home, at car washes, the water gets recycled and used again to wash another car. People take hour long showers when it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to get clean. Water parks only serve the purpose of wasting water. Just almost everything we do wastes water, its ridiculous.

Second of all, my question is why the hell are we in a recession if companies like that make so much money, wouldn't it make the economy go up from all the sales. Everyone needs water and so many companies sell it now for so much money and every company in the world uses water in even the smallest way. I feel like so many of the worlds problems could simply be fixed if people would just have a heart and think of the right thing to do instead of what money says to do.
