You mentioned something I've been preaching without success for the past nearly 30 years -- clean water is the greatest environment challenge we face in the 21st century. Not nuclear waste, not landfill, not even overpopulation, thought that's close. But clean water.

We live on a limited well. We have learned to use water carefully. But when I go into the homes of friends who live on city water systems and watch them waste hundreds of gallons of clean, drinkable water on nothings, it distresses me.

We view water as an unlimited commodity. But in fact, clean water is getting increasingly scarce even in this country, and there are countries where it barely exists.
