As someone from Monterrey, what we actually need is increasing taxes depending on how much a company pollutes.
They allow corporations to pollute as much as possible, and then spend tax dollars on green spaces when we don’t have enough water to maintain them.
Last dry season people were having their water cut for multiples days at a time. With our water shortages, all this means is next year we’ll be giving water to plants instead of giving it to people.
We need accountability from companies that pollute freely and not just surface level solutions that waste valuable resources barely treating the symptoms.

Isn’t agriculture the main source of water waste?

Yeah, we need accountability for our agricultural water waste too.
