Troubled waters


pt. 1. Bottled Water: Big Business - Part 1: Ontario -- pt. 2. Bottled Water: Big Business - Part 2: British Columbia -- pt. 3. Bottled Water: Big Business - Part 3: Nestle's Argument. "TROUBLED WATERS" takes viewers to local communities currently facing off against the bottled water industry, as they fight to protect the precious natural resource from flowing out of their communities. W5's Victor Malarek investigates how Swiss transnational food and drink giant Nestlé is pumping a staggering 1.7 billion litres of fresh water out of wells in Ontario each year. Across the country in Hope, British Columbia, Nestle is pumping 311 million litres a year out of wells, with some local residents complaining that the water is being extracted only to be given away for free. In Ontario, Nestlé pays only $3.71 per million litres of water pumped from the ground, while in British Columbia that cost is even lower - only $2.25 per million litres. Malarek interviews local residents concerned about this essential community resource being exploited for profit, and worried about depletion of groundwater aquifers. Nestlé Waters Canada insists it monitors groundwater levels to ensure there is no negative impact on local aquifers, while contending they are prepared to pay a fair price for the water they are pumping.

In real life

Doctorow, Cory


Adapted from a story by Cory Doctorow called 'Anda's Game'. Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the massively-multiplayer role playing game that she spends most of her free time on.

But things become a lot more complicated when Anda befriends a gold farmer--a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the game illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players from developed countries with money to burn. This behavior is strictly against the rules in Coarsegold, but Anda soon comes to realize that questions of right and wrong are a lot less straightforward when a real person's real livelihood is at stake.

Galileo's daughter : a historical memoir of science, faith, and love

First published in the United States by Walker, 1999. Sobel bases her book on 124 surviving letters to the scientist from the nun, whom Galileo described as "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and tenderly attached to me." Their loving correspondence revealed much about their world: the agonies of the bubonic plague, the hardships of monastic life, even Galileo's occasional forgetfulness ("The little basket, which I sent you recently with several pastries, is not mine, and therefore I wish you to return it to me").
