There are solutions, but you won't find them being touted in the mainstream media. The corporate media tells stories of doom and tries to put the blame on individuals rather than on the horrible choices that corporations offer us. What we need is organized community action. Here is a great website https://www.storyofstuff.org/movies/water/ that educates, and shows us positive things we can do for our water systems, plastics, pollution, etc. Maybe volunteer to give a presentation at a school. a senior citizens center, or a church group?
