AP IMPACT: Pharmaceuticals Found in Drinking Water, Affecting Wildlife and Maybe Humans

A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.

I'm very concerned with the fact that since the human body is 95% water, our resources are depleting as we speak. I don't have the solution to this situation but maybe I can be more mindful of what I should be doing to preserve this wonderful gift of nourishment that we all take for granted and consume daily.

What concerns me even more is the fact that this resource has become a commodity in which one can prosper and deceive all mankind through distributing bottled water that comes from sources unknown.

Gone are the days of refreshing, pure and clean well waters, lakes and rivers to quench our thirsts on a hot sultry day. Can this situation be turned around? Can we undo the damage that's been done? Have we become a society that only thinks of using these gifts of resources to earn a dollar for our pockets and support the economy by purchasing tainted goods?

Maybe I'm becoming skeptical with age but I thank my Creator daily that I can be more resourceful and tend to the gifts of nature as well as be more mindful of the need to preserve them for not only my health but for all mankind and wildlife. And this too shall come to pass........
