Many Lack Potable Water

September 1, 2004 | Issue 40•35

According to a recent U.N. report, more than one billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. What do you think?

Old Woman

Jennifer Gerber,
Auditor
"The law of nature is 'adapt or die.' If those one billion people want to survive, they'll just have to evolve past the need to drink water."

Asian Man

Jesse Miller,
Clerk
"Yesterday, I poured a bunch of water down the drain after cooking some pasta. I could've helped an African with that water. I'm so stupid!"

Black Man

Mark Kunde,
Systems Analyst
"This problem will be gone as soon as the earth's temperature increases enough to boil the world's lakes and streams, effectively sterilizing them."

Young Woman

Kristin Leffe,
Publicist
"I'm sorry, but if these people are too lazy to refill their Brita pitchers..."

Old Man

Mark Henley,
Musical Director
"When I was a kid growing up in Love Canal, we didn't have uncontaminated water. Did we complain about it? No. We just shut up and got cancer."

Young Man

Jeffrey Larsen,
Usher
"Thus we see the first tremors of what history will someday call 'The Volvic Wars.'"
