Views on Clean Drinking Water

My issue is something that effects people all throughout the world. People are always trying to work harder to decrease the number of people without access to clean drinking water. The fact that this is something that effects many people and occurs all over the world not many people oppose helping communities that do not have clean drinking water. On the contrary there are more and more people each day trying to come up with more and more ways to decrease this issue. But, even though there are many people helping reduce the number of people without access to clean drinking water, there are still people who do not realize how important it is to keep our water clean. These people are all over the world not just in small communities but even here in America. There are companies that dispose of their waste, that includes dangerous chemicals, into local water supplies. These chemicals lead to painful rashes and enamel being eaten away. As is says in an article written by Rob Perks "How can we get digital cable and internet in our homes, but not clean water?" said Mrs. Hall-Massey a senior accountant at one of the state's largest banks. This is something that many people think does not occur in America but as we can see it does. Should we not have to be able to help ourselves first and then others? Many people acclaim those people who go to other countries and provide clean water for them but what about the problems that our own country has with this issue? Not many people oppose helping provide clean water but we have to encounter the fact that communities in America do not have access to clean water before anything else.
