This Simple Human

A Return To Basics

In a quest to become sophisticated and highly advanced, we risk moving away from the simple things that make us human. This Simple Human aims to explore some of the basic needs such as food, water, air, love, and community, things in this modern age we sometimes take for granted. In the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd "And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Be a simple kind of man.Won't you do this for me son,If you can? Forget your lust for the rich man's gold. All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied".

Privatization of water

Water. It's essential to our survival, and some predict it will be a commodity that private companies will try to control.

Nestle CEO Peter Brabeck has been quoted as saying water is not a human right and should be managed by corporations. He claims this will help sustain the planet and its resources. Or let's just call it what it is - a way to control a necessity that leads to billions and billions of dollars in the pockets of corporations. Here's some news for CEOs who believe that they can monopolize and control the water supply - at some point people will revolt against this kind of approach because they will realize that this is the most ludicrous justification of water conservation that's ever been proposed. Yes, we need to be smarter about how we conserve water but we also need to strive for clean water for all people on this planet.  Corporations simply don't have the same goals in mind.
