Water conservation and supply: forum discussion questions
Promoting the general welfare of ourselves and future generations as well as "...."secur[ing] the blessings of liberty"...and protecting "ourselves and our posterity" directly ties into looking after the environment. As noted above, the Clean Water Act of the 1970s made more of the nation's rivers and lake waters clean so that one can swim in them, drink form them, and fish in them. Not only was it protective for fish and plants as well as all aqua creatures, but the greatest achievements of the Act was the introducing of international, clean drinking water and treated wastewater. This led to a dramatic increase in longevity and quality of life. What greater proof do you need?
Protecting the environment – water, air, earth, and so forth – determines the way we live, determines our very existence. We need to live healthy lives. We like to live long lives. To do so necessitates caring for the environment.
