(This is my opinion but it’s an answer) I think water should be free. All people, plants, and animals need water to live and no one should die because they can’t have water, we are just too advanced for that. But with that being said, teaching people the importance of keeping water clean is important too. It should be mandatory for everyone to learn how to keep water clean, and ways to conserve water usage as well. Mother nature gave us water and no one has a right to deprive and capitalize off it. That is evil, greedy and inhuman. Keeping oceans, lakes, and streams is also important, and oil companies are not only destroying the atmosphere while being burned, but destroying the biosphere as well and if we don’t stop some the effects are detrimental and not reversible.
