Get a filtration system. We did.

Then complain about big pharma if you want to discuss water supply contamination.

People laugh at Alex Jones, but hormones in the water system affect aquatic ecosystems and cause reproductive issues in fish.

And I clearly said that we needed to specifically take care of our waters better, and where the majority of the blame for not doing so lies.



Right, and I'm not trying to specifically call you out or imply that you are wrong. I was just adding to the discussion.

Something I find remarkable is that all the die-hard followers of Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" always fail to acknowledge his understanding that many environmental issues constitute "negative externalities" that the market cannot regulate alone, hence the need for government or societal interventions and protections.

I'm so happy to learn that you solved microplastics and forever chemicals in our drinking water.

Almost as if these things are cyclical.

what's cyclical? do you understand what that means?
and i'll assume you're right about denver. i didn't search back to pre automobile days and was talking about the state as a whole

Yeah, it’s called taking responsibility for my drinking water. My job isn’t to solve “our” drinking water.

Maybe in terms of impacts on the actual climate, but we have significant impacts on the health of global water supplies and air quality.


I think most people are in favor of clean air and water. Actual pollution is something we can all agree is bad.

Climate alarmism has caused people to be numb to environmental issues and just turn off on the topic all together.

Call me when the conversation addresses pollution and not made-up climate bullshite.

You're right. Every man for himself. We are each individually responsible for mitigating the damages to our health caused by corporations.

What kind of water filtration system do you have?

Which they'd be in position to do if they'd not shot their wad, faking climate data, and distracting from actual factual environmental issues.

That doesn't really have anything to do with what I posted.

Disciples of Hayek pick and choose which parts of his philosophy to preach.

A corporation doesn't send water to my home. Daddy government does. Bigger daddy government even tests it every so often and claims it 100 percent safe.

And by the way, with that said, it's a 3.5 gallon stainless steel Berkey.

Surely Not! A couple years ago, I read post after post, by climate experts on this board, that EV was the future. Internal combustion engines were like the Dinosaur, headed for the junk heap.

Has there ever been a bigger boondoggle in the history of man?

A whole house system in the crawlspace and a separate system for our dedicated drinking water spout. My husband actually takes care of it. We weren’t satisfied with the municipal water supply- especially as we drink water instead of packaged beverages.

Yes- in the end, we are our own best advocates and actors in our health. Glad we agree on something!

Then what we paying the EPA for? We gotta shovel that money in there so our water is safe. We saying that's not happening?

China, India, developing nations, and third world countries are the chief polluters. Well, that and lithium mining for "green" cars. What are we gonna do about that?

And get this, we have one of the usuals in here griping about water pollution, in a thread about climate, when lithium mining for EVs is a HUGE polluter of water.
