Sometimes I wonder if the environmentalists should reduce CO2 emissions by stifling all their own personal emissions! This is an ABSURD case of cutting off your nose to spite your face! It would be dreadful, from their perspective, if a drop of this water was used in a drought to save a single human being! Clearly, if they keep on this path, they will not be happy until earth is stripped of the "contagion" of humanity. If that is how they truly feel, I respectfully suggest they should start with themselves. "Mother Earth" would gladly absorb their remains and they can feel the great release of knowing they sacrificed all for Nature.
