Water Wars: Protecting Our Most Sacred Resource W/ Erin Brockovich & Suzanne Boothby #319

Today I’m joined by one of the world’s most iconic water whistleblowers, Erin Brockovich, whose 30-year mission to decontaminate America’s toxic water system shows no sign of drying up. Turns out, not even an Oscar-winning hit movie could overthrow the corporate grip on nature’s most natural source! Together with Suzanne Boothby, co-author of “Superman's Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis and What We the People Can Do About It,” the three of us dive into the antiquated laws and legislation polluting our ‘drinking’ water, minds, and bodies, as well as providing you with practical solutions to flip the filtration system at a grass-roots level. It can be overwhelming to get your head around the catastrophic levels of poison being legally pumped into our kitchens, bathrooms, and food products. However, it’s crucial we empower ourselves with the science and solutions to access truly safe water–and reconnect with the planet and ourselves in the process. No one’s coming to save us — we have to save the planet if we want to save ourselves.   08:43 — Erin Brockovich’s Water Story and how it inspired her new book Her journey and relentless battle to bring the hidden secrets surrounding America’s filthy water system to light Her collaboration with writer Suzanne Boothby on their new book, “Superman's Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis and What We the People Can Do About It” The spiritual connection between humans. nature and water source The Wizard of Oz and its parallels with the current water crisis     29:33 — Water 101 How water is reclaimed and recycled from your toilet and back into your tap  The backstory on hexavalent chromium (Chrome 6) How our chlorinated water supply creates brain eating amoebas and is causing Lechona outbreaks across the US   42.09 —  The corrupt system controlling our water supply Why we need to stop using ammonia at a national, state and local level Why governments are ignoring the readily available UV and Ozone solutions out there The lack of regulation, interest and funding on Hexavalent Chromium laws Why no water fountain in a park, school or public building is safe to drink from   50:36 — Debunking ‘The Fluoride Myth’ How fluoride calcifies the pineal gland in your brain and disrupts your magnetic field The real reason fluoride finds its way into your glass (disclaimer: it’s not for your teeth) The active community that’s working to reduce and remove fluoride in our H20   01:01:22 — How fracking is draining and damaging our water system and how we can stop it What is the Haliburton loophole, and how does it protect the fracking industry at our expense?
