The water here, like in many poor areas, is unsafe to drink. I can, however, eat an orange or a pinapple, which are mostly composed of water, without negative consequences. So a plant has the ability to purify water. And not just the unsafe tap water, but the nastiest gutter water full of trash and other junk. Isn't that amazing?
Did you know that the chlorophyll in plants and human blood are almost chemically identical? The only difference is that chlorophyll contains magnesium and blood has iron. That's it. The stuff that keeps plants alive and the stuff that keeps people alive are pretty much the same thing.
Bill Nye is my hero.
