Water Matters

I’m a farm girl and grew up during the DDT era where we saw few raptors. Occasionally we’d see an owl or a hawk, and remember seeing a snowy owl on a tree once. Over the decades we’d see more raptors, and finally they’ve made a comeback which means that science and banning chemicals works. I took pharmacy at university and thought I wouldn’t be able to work behind a counter after being diagnosed with MS, so worked in a toxicology lab, I understand the science behind chemical bans. I was the water analyst for Alberta and we’d get samples of live fish in the toxicology lab that looked like they had acid poured on them, and their tumours were terrifying. Water matters. Everything we pour onto the earth affects our water. Above is a picture of an owl imprint in the snow.
