due to the rise of water pollution in the world especially in the Phillippines, water are becoming expensive as years pass. Now, it is not safe to drink the water from the faucet... we need to buy it from the market... the non-commercialized water are now causing various disease due to its unclean nature... this is terrifying... in years time, many people will die and many will suffer from poverty because of the high price goods in the market... what can you say fellow my lotters?

i agree with you... it seems that money controls the world already... there is no more for the nature and for the people to be one...

yes, this shouldn't be the case... the future of the nature depends on our hands... we should not be greedy of money... and we should use our money to help revive what we have before..

it shouldn't be that way.."love of money is the root of all evil.." we should learn how to spend wisely..also, we should refrain doing things that will destroy our nature..

You are really right. Like in our faucet at home, the tap water from their doesn't really smell good. From the very water you can smell the garbage seeping in to the water pipeline! We can't use that water for drinking and cooking. That's why we spend around Php150 a week for five gallons of mineral water. It's quite disappointing.

that's scary... you really need to clean your pipelines and your water resource.. many people will get sick with that...and maybe later, you will buy water for you to wash...

You are absolutely right. I have had to buy water in so many countries. Even then, bottled water isn't always safe. I heard of many reverse osmosis plants that had all the machinery installed but never used it - they bottled dirty well water directly! It's frightening.

We can't just what's clean or not here on earth. Cuz it is very hard to find something that is 100% germ free unless it undergoes some laboratory processes. Pertaining to water, well, even the bottled water are not safe to drink. Why? Because the plastic bottle itself creates chemical reactions on water that may harm person's health. The best way to do, is to maintain the level of your immune system. In which it can repel sickness and unwanted chemical reaction that may result to any illnesses.

Well, in Indonesia we never had a clean water that are safe to drink directly from the tap/ faucet, so we are used to buy the mineral water from the stores. Some people will save further money by boiling the water before consumption.
