The crazy thing for me seeing the flint water crisis was how many people donated plastic water bottles. Yes, people have to drink. But donate in something reusable, 1 gallon jugs you can refill, 5 gallon, etc. Not single use water bottles that people use literally to take showers, 20 or more at a time. That was just borrowing from the future to solve a short term need and make some people rich on poor people’s suffering. It was a nice thought, but famous people wanting publicity for donating a million for those costco water bottles was so short sighted. Glad we got through at least the worst of it, but the landfills and debt we caused for future generations for something like this…. maybe we managed to ship it off to another country or make another ski hill but some time sooner or later stuff like that is going to come back around on us or our kids.
