You’ll never see a video like this in trending people aren’t going to know how serious something actually is until it effects their livelihood.
-
It's always funny hearing that we can still reverse things. We all know nothing will happen until things are irreversible. Until the rich and powerful turn the tap and all they see is murky water, or nothing.
-
The saddest thought knowing, is that useless human greed has contributed to this, and it is depressing to know that those who can truly make change, seem to only make change when it will affect them.
-
Boycott nestle products, support water rights orgs, and plant mangrove trees (Eden Reforestation does this for example). Small actions make big impact.
-
Is there really any hope left? I feel like an environmental collapse is inevitable
-
Its always about "we" & "us" but its mostly the big companies who are responsible for their actions.
-
Im from Cape Town, South Africa... I've /We've experienced this first hand... People fought over water.. Coz our dams almost ran dry... Yes a coastal City's dams almost ran dry... THIS IS VERY SERIOUS... WE HAD TO REUSE every drop we could..
-
It seems like sooner or later, everything will come crashing down on our species.
-
Why do I do this to myself, I could be watching a kitten video right now....
-
This is terrifying. 15 years. I remember 15 years ago. That time flew by. Our sweet easy lives are going to change rapidly You'll either survive to watch or die trying to make it.
-
Yes, it is so terrible how humans impacted the biosphere of Earth that rely on resources like water.
-
I live in Garowe Somalia and the situation is scary there is no rain here. Underground water might disappear. The small dams and watertanks we have are not getting any rain.
-
This is the content I love to see from vice!
-
If only the world's governments could come together and actually care
-
The older generations excessive greed has destroyed the planet. This won't be a overnight fix.
-
This situation is so sad and scary
-
I just can’t help but to look at my kids and shed a few tears watching things like these.
-
From what I understand, Milton Friedman is the biggest villain here when he 'decreed' that companies must only be responsible to their shareholders and not (as was the case) to the community too. In other words, companies must do all in their power to return a profit to shareholders 'no matter what'. We have the power to change this.
-
It is incredible how people around me don't care about this at all... and its ALL happening in front of their eyes...
-
The scarcity of water is evident across the globe; we all are aware of it but still not paying attention to the imminent danger.
