Blue Gold - Maude Barlow / Tony Clarke
Blue Gold: The Battle Against Corporate Theft of Our Most Precious Resource
In "Blue Gold," Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke sound the alarm on the global water crisis and expose the corporations that are profiting from our most precious resource. They argue that water is a human right, not a commodity, and that we must take action to protect it from privatization and exploitation.
A Wake-Up Call on the Global Water Crisis
The world is facing a water crisis of unprecedented proportions. One in three people on the planet do not have access to safe drinking water, and two-thirds of the world's population lives in water-stressed regions. The situation is only getting worse as climate change causes glaciers to melt, rivers to dry up, and aquifers to be depleted.
The Corporate Water Grabbers
A handful of multinational corporations are profiting from the global water crisis by privatizing water sources and selling water back to the public at exorbitant prices. These corporations are often exempt from environmental regulations, and they have a history of polluting water sources and displacing local communities.
The Fight for Water Justice
Barlow and Clarke argue that water is a human right, not a commodity, and that we must take action to protect it from privatization and exploitation. They call for a global movement to demand that governments prioritize water conservation and public water systems, and to hold corporations accountable for their water-related abuses.
