Hmm.. I see a lot of anti pollution movements still, nature saving movements, technologies to purify water... to suck water out of the air even... storm prompting technologies. That all seems pretty pro active to me. I'd say find one and get involved.

People normally don't change until it's too late

Because I have water.

Lotsa water in Canada!

Planning on collecting a few thousand gallons of rain. I'm in one of the states where it is legal.

I live in California, so actually I thought we were.

Because Americans are reactive. If we were proactive, out TV news would be a LOT different.

The First Nations throughout United States are having demonstrations about protecting a water they did some pretty bad things to the First Nations is standing Rock a year or two ago lot of them were arrested under false pretenses water was sprayed in their faces and freezing temperatures rubber bullets were shot at them canisters for shot at them also one lady might have lost her eye another lady almost lost her arm you don't hear that on the news it wasn't that bad when I was there

If you lived in the west you would know it is here now

Probably because the water companies don't want to eat away at their profits. It costs to invest in water protection schemes.

I would say for the same reason we're not proactive about climate change - they haven't found a way to profit from fixing the problem.

because people don't think of it till its full on. Others say its your problem not theirs so don't care. Some expect the government to fix it and not cost them anything

Possibly for the same reason we're not pro-active about over population.

Probably for the same reasons we are not off fossil fuel. The powers that be have not figured a way to make money off it yet. The ARE trying though!

Why are we not proactive about the coming total climate melt-down fuck-up, which is going to be the biggest disaster humans have ever faced, and then some? We just prefer to hide our heads in the sand and hope it never happens.

It is a known fact that we will be facing a water shortage in the coming future. I question why we are not building new reservoirs to catch winter flood waters for future use? This would seem to be a reasonable approach to securing future water needs. Speaking of winter floods why is the government allowing the same people to rebuild homes in areas that continue to wipe them out. This money used to rebuild these homes could be used to build the reservoirs.
