Running It All Away

by Edward Hugh

This story today is worth a quick glance:

Mark McGowan went into the tiny backroom kitchen of a south London gallery three weeks ago and flipped on the cold water. He didn’t turn it off, and doesn’t plan to for an entire year.

“The Running Tap,” as it’s called, is McGowan’s effort to protest against wasted water in London by blatantly letting it go down the drain.

    Last time I looked England was located in a wet, temperate climate with enough water. In fact, a sizeable river runs right through the capital city all year long. Water going down the drain in London finally ends up in exactly that river. Apart from cleaning up the water to drinking quality, where is the problem?
