Now just imagine having to haul water up a mountain with a 5-gallon bucket on your head 4 times a day!
In older times I am sure they managed with clay and then tin containers for the H2O which both in of themselves would have added greater weight to the chore and or leading to more treks up and down the mountain side.
What I see in this an environmentalist would see as a man-made disaster, OIL giving the actual help.
Yes, I said oil.
Before Operation Blessing arrived the people on the mountain were utilizing 5 gallon plastic buckets and how are plastic products made - Oil. Now look closer and you can see Oil elsewhere in this story.
How did Operation Blessing get to Honduras? A plane. What is the basis for jet fuel? Oil.
Did you see the PVC piping? Just what makes PVC work as a durable and cost efficient alternative to cast iron or copper? Again, Oil. I am quite sure an intelligent reader can see more but believe my point is made.
The people on the mountain now have running fresh water due in part to other people helping them. At the same time we see one abiotic source (oil) helping another abiotic source (water) achieve the same goal and actually defying gravity itself.
Good story, you bet!
Note to any environmentalist reading this; If you are reading this, thank Oil. Why you may inquire? Well look at the device you are using be it a laptop, PC, iPad,,etc., it's all made in part of plastic thanks to Oil.
