I refuse to drink the water from my home town, or from the community where my daughters went to school. That in my home town has been poisoned by five toxic industrial waste sites. By no coincidence, there have been people dying from various cancers at a relatively young age since I was a teenager. The other community's water just tastes terrible.

I'm lucky that I have good water. I never take it for granted.
