As to the "so what", I can only say that I hope keeping the discussion alive will lead to greater public awareness and ultimately corrective action.<br /><br />I also believe that the best hope for positive action is to align, as much as possible, the varying interests of the water industry, government and environmentalists. That requires changing the discussion from "we need to clean up our water" to "here is an interesting opportunity for a company with the right technology." <br /><br />I believe that is the ultimate lesson of the current "green revolution". Use our society's ingrained - and highly effective - capitalist instinct to work for the environment. That will require society as whole to decide that this is an important issue - and government to provide the necessary legal incentives to make environmentalism profitable for businesses.Alex Basilevskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334219416593907647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091548466856403675.post-5510274651409178442009-04-14T12:52:00.000-07:002009-04-14T12:52:00.000-07:00I find your information quite topical as well as i...I find your information quite topical as well as interesting, but I need to inquire, so what...? As you note PPCP in our water is not a new discovery and yet Americans (and while I would rather not I must include moi) remain totally oblivious to taking any "action" to address this one topic. Why...? While I am and have been in the water and wastewater industry in Arizona for more than 30 years, the conversation today is what it was 30 years ago, we have not honestly made any significant head way to honestly addressing and/or correcting the myriad of water dilemmas we have created. What might be positive steps Americans can take to begin to comprehend the impact our daily action has on all aspects of our air and water...? Or are "we" truly that cavalier we don't care...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
