Protect our water from pollution

VERNON — One reason water should belong to everyone is the impact of pollution on the environment. Farmers are complaining that their veggies and their animals are dying because of polluted water.

Just next door in Bennington, the Chemfab plant leaked chemicals into people's wells.

In North Dakota, people are protesting the Dakota Access pipeline because they say it will hurt the environment.

One thing I think people can do is urge the government to stop the pipeline. I hope the water protectors succeed in what they are trying to do.
