Flint got clean Great Lakes water previously, now it gets polluted river water because of cost cutting by the local government. Even the local GM engine plant won't take the river water because it damages engine blocks.
Besides, the water isn't discolored. To treat the water, chlorine and precipitants were used but that ended up leaching old lead pipes. So now you get polluted water with lots of chlorine and lead in it. -
Mangolazi (mangolazi)'s status on Sunday, 27-Dec-2015 12:32:08 CET Mangolazi COP21 focused on reducing emissions to lessen climate change impact. Maybe we should focus on keeping carbon in the ground instead - stopping fossil fuel extraction, moving away from consumerist lifestyles, reducing energy needs and switching to eco-sustainable agriculture. Business as usual but with renewables instead of fossil fuels isn't enough. -

Mangolazi (mangolazi)'s status on Thursday, 19-Nov-2015 20:03:58 CET Mangolazi @benfell@cybernude.org I finally finished watching Children of Men. The nihilism and despair in that movie, coupled with its depiction of a massive refugee crisis and a British state gone off the rails into sheer brutality, make it feel very contemporary. 2006, 2015, it's only gotten worse. -
