"One of the most forward thinking books in a long time"...
When was the last time to your recollection that you had bottled water in one hand and a glass of tap water in the other and chose the tap water? Chances are that has not happened in your life.
Even in modern cities such as Los Angeles, Sydney, New York, London or Tokyo, most citizens will dare not drink the tap water? Why? Any number of reasons will suffice. But the fact is that even in these cities where "water quality" should be at its best, it´s not. Now just imagine living in places where water really is bad, not just considered bad tasting. How often do you boil your drinking water? Never? Exactly. Enjoy your journey through disturbing facts, colorful art and a mythical story that, if we aren´t careful, just may become more fact than fiction.
Plot: The
Betrayal of Man is
a short myth/folk tale. The story portrays life,
water and energy as characters struggling over time to live with one another.
As the balance of the three becomes weighted on the side of life, more
specifically man, resources are lost and life soon leaves the planet behind
with out a clean, pure water supply. The story has
many underlying themes. Test yourself and see if you are conscious
enough to figure it out. Surfers appear
as the "messengers" of the ocean attempting to warn man of
the coming doom. The surf culture
should have the most important activists in water quality. We are one of the
few lifestyles that require clean water for our enjoyment. With exposure to these
facts and myth one day maybe we will be.
