Water, Water Everywhere
From Handshake Issue #1: Water
Water, water everywhere/Nor any drop to drink,” wrote Samuel Taylor Coleridge in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” In this 1798 poem, sailors blame the Mariner for the torment of their thirst. Today millions of people around the world face the prospect of “nor any drop to drink”—or to irrigate their land or feed their animals—and it’s our lifestyle that is to blame.
