This really concerns me!
According to Bloomberg News “Water is joining gold, oil and other commodities traded on Wall Street, highlighting worries that the life-sustaining natural resource may become scarce across more of the world.”
Water shortages are already a problem for many. As I mentioned on my blog last week, 3.2 billion people already face water shortages. Betting against future water is only going to make that worse and we may end up with a world divided by water-haves and water-have-nots.
I believe that water is human right NOT a commodity. What can we do to ensure that water does not become commoditized? Let me know in the comments.
