00:04Most people don't think about where their water comes from.
00:08They just turn on the tap and they expect it to be there.
00:11Those days are ending.
00:17Humans are changing the climate.
00:19We already see evidence about it.
00:21One of the most significant impacts of climate change will be on our water resources.
00:25This notion that we'll have water forever is wrong.
00:29The world is running out of fresh water.
00:34In the last 10 years, major water companies from Europe have started taking advantage of pollution and scarcity.
00:43Who owns water? Who gets to make the decisions about water?
00:47Water privatization was forced on Bolivia by the World Bank.
00:50Water is the most precious commodity for them in the world. It's blue gold.
00:55Water is a common resource. Water is not a property.
00:57The water sector is going to grow two to three times the global economy over the next 20 years.
01:02The market is amoral.
01:04And it's going to lead you to selling to those who can buy it and not to those who need
01:08it.
01:11They're spending tens of millions of dollars to convince us that bottled water is better than tap water.
01:17There is less than one person regulating the entire bottled water industry.
01:21People buying this stuff had no idea where it was coming from.
01:24The company kept pumping during a season of drought.
01:28They took so much water, they're being sued in five states.
01:32They kept pumping even then.
01:35We're fighting this battle, this David and Goliath battle.
01:38Water must be protected everywhere.
01:41Who owns the water for survival owns you.
01:44And that's the picture that people have to understand.
01:45It's not a democratic issue and it's not a republican issue.
01:49It's a people issue.
01:52Without water we have no society, we have no economy, we have no life.
01:58People say that, well water is a lot like air.
02:01You shouldn't charge for water.
02:03Well okay, watch what happens.
02:05That's right.
02:06You know...
02:10You know...
02:12that's something like that.
02:13You know...
02:15You know
02:17You know...
02:18...and the mountain you save time.
02:18With that.
