On the WORLDbytes Chill out Desk scientist Joe Kaplinsky helps us realise water is not something we should worry about. In 1858 London suffered what was known as the Great Stink, when excrement backed up on the tidal Thames forcing even parliament to consider adjourning upstream. The Victorians developed grand plans to solve the problems yet today our peers in developing countries still suffer pit holes and death from water borne diseases. A new film Flush it available on DVD to mark this 150th anniversary demands grand plans to solve today’s sanitation and water issues. The film is available from the WORLDwrite website.
