Petition: Demand South Africa, the US, and the UK Finally Take Steps to Address the Water Crisis

A new study paints a damning picture of global water use. The research, which looks at the disparities between water usage of the rich and poor in the same city, found that the wealthiest members of cities around the world are responsible for increasingly common water shortages. In Cape Town, South Africa, elite households consumed about 571 gallons of water daily, while people living in lower income brackets used just 47 gallons of water every day. This is literally fueling a water crisis: the city’s wealthiest residents, who only make up 14% of the population, consumed over half of all of the city’s water. Please sign this petition now to demand South Africa, the US, and the UK finally take steps to address the water crisis by reducing the massive disparities in water use between the rich and poor!
