Introduction

Quote
As citizens of the consumer-driven economy and culture of the United States of America, we face a plethora of choices throughout our every day lives.

We are consistently bombarded by images and ideas, the purposes of which are to influence our consumer behaviors and purchasing choices.

If we are to be active and educated in our buying patterns, there are countless matters that we can decide to minimize or opt out of completely.

This ILP (Independent Learning Project) is a creative project that focuses on drinking water, an area of human consumption that cannot be avoided and must not be taken for granted. This film intends to inspire people to make sustainable choices in regards to their daily drinking water habits while simultaneously fostering a deep concern for the long-term welfare of the earth’s fresh water supplies.

SNIPPET 1:

The water crisis that the planet is facing is a multi-faceted dilemma with numerous causes and even more solutions. It would not be fair or accurate to lay the blame in just one industry, such as bottled water. The United States uses 46% of its water for industrial purposes, 41% goes to agricultural needs, and a mere 13% for municipal and personal use (Sterling & Vintinner, 2008).

Snippet 2:

For at least the last 150,000 years, water has been the essential beverage for human, plant, and animal life as we know it. (Royte, 2008) Royte summarizes that: From the beginning of human time, access to sufficient clean water was the sine qua non for the establishment of a settlement. Lack of good water cramped expansion, and the search for new sources drew civilization’s map. Waterborne diseases could wipe out entire communities, so fresh springs were protected and fiercely defended.(Royte, 2008, p. 21)

Agelbert NOTE: IOW, polluted water from profit over planet due to industrialization and the extraction and use of fossil fuels is ANOTHER COST those Empathy Deficit Disordered Industries are visiting upon humanity.  >:(
