I heard an interesting statistic last week, a statistic that stopped me in my tracks—and then moved me to write this ePistle column: Around the world, more people die because they don't have access to clean water than die because they don't have access to antibiotics. I admit that I didn't double-check the accuracy of that particular statement. But a quick search on the internet revealed that over 1 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. Over 2 billion people do not have adequate sanitation facilities. Nearly 2 million children die each year as a result of water-borne diseases. Millions and billions of people. I can't even visualize numbers that large.
