Blog Action Day 2010 Water as a Human Right

Access to clean water and sanitation is a human right over objection

access to safe drinking water. Access to clean water is not just a
human rights issue, it’s an environmental issue, an animal welfare
issue. A sustainability issue.

in New York"... (more).
