It's time for us to start getting active again. We went silent, and can be silent no more... the time is now to help water.

With the U.S. and other countries needing massive water infrastructure spending, private capital will have to play a part.

Not good news for water... the fight must truly begin.

U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney General, introduced the first so-called “Halliburton Loophole” bill back in 1999 before it was ever known as such.

When you take a bath and drain your tub - that water going out - it’s called grey water and it’s filterable and recyclable; when you flush the toilet - that water is called black water, and it’s filterable and re-usable. The water used (2 million gallons a day) for injection drilling for oil and gas - it is called TOXIC WATER - it’s so chemically polluted it CAN NOT be filtered at all. They try and bury it in the ground in the well the gas came out of - in hopes that will solve the problem.

We are wasting 2 million gallons a day in a state that is thought to run out of water by next year this time. Will oil and gas matter then? No. It will not. WE must stop the USE of this water in drought ridden California. Please spread this to all your friends. Sign up here to join our petition to stop this use of CA water in our state and drought. We must stop polluting inside the earth where our food and water comes from... http://www.nothingwithoutwater.co/ #!contact/c1kcz
