The island where locals say data centres are taking their water

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA local on an island tells the BBC that not a single drop has come through her taps in three months, and residents blame the data centres nearby.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us is Zephyrine Marlowe, a wellness creator whose sponsored morning routine is built around hydration. Zephyrine, why this story?

   Zephyrine MarloweBecause water is self-care, Gloria. I start with a copper tumbler, forty ounces, and that's just my first glass.

4. ZM

   Zephyrine MarloweUse code SIPSIP for twenty percent off.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat code does not work. I tried it during the commercial break.

6. ZM

   Zephyrine MarloweIt's seasonal. Anyway, step two is a cold plunge, and that's just my second glass, because I drink while I plunge.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorZephyrine, these residents have had nothing from their taps since July. Does your routine have a step for that?

8. ZM

   Zephyrine MarloweAbsolutely. Step seven is gratitude. I'm on my sixth glass by then, which people say is excessive, but hydration is a spiritual practice.

10. ZM

    Zephyrine MarloweI'm at eleven by noon, and I rinse the tumbler between each one. Sustainably. With filtered water.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'll ask once more, because you didn't answer: do you think your routine should change while people on an island are living without running water?

12. ZM

    Zephyrine MarloweI think they should join the routine. Twelve glasses a day is really the foundation, and the code definitely helps you afford the tumbler.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe code does not exist, Zephyrine. What is it again?

14. ZM

    Zephyrine MarloweDrip. All caps. D, R, I, P.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDrip. The island would take that as a donation.
