The Clean Water Act of 1972 was a very important
piece of legislation, but it shouldn’t have been something that was ever even
contested or questioned in my opinion.
While clean water is something that most of us take for granted, it’s
not something that everyone actually has even today. Water is one of the main things that sustains
life, and without clean water, we simply die.
Not only us as humans, but other animals, plants and living beings. I think when we hear stories today about situations
such as what continues to happen in Flint, Michigan, we’re taken aback because
most decent human beings want others to have access to clean water. Let us not forget that in that situation,
even Michigan public health officials were charged as complicit in that scandal
that is still affecting lives. As future
public health professionals, we have the obligation to ensure that people have
access to clean water.
I felt the same about The Clean Water Act of 1972. As public health professionals we have an obligation to ensure that all people in the United States have access to clean water.
