Monday, May 25th, 2009

Fire officials in Santa Clarita have finally released information about the tained bottled water at a local Jr. High School. It became clear that something was going on when 12 children became violently ill shortly after lunch at La Mesa Junior High School. The 12 students were immediately rushed to the hospital as the school was shut down and students interviewed as a precaution. It was found that all of the 12 students purchased bottled water at the school’s vending machine. The bottles in the machine and some remaining in students possesion were found to contain a “bleach-like substance.” County and state health services are still trying to determine how and when the bottled water was tainted.

Stop the Bottled Water Use!

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Bottled water companies promote their products as being purer and safer than regular municipal (tap) water. Bottled water can cost over 10,000 times more per gallon than regular tap water. Many bottled water campaigns say their products are held to “higher standards,” but in reality tap water is actually held to more stringent quality standards than bottled water. Many brands of bottled water have been discovered to be nothing more than tap water in disguise. The ever increasing consumption of bottled water is fueling an unsustainable industry that leaves a heavy imprint on our environment. The estimated amount of oil used to create bottles for bottled water is 1.5 million barrels of oil. The amount of oil burned to transport these bottles is too significant to calculate.

The massive increase in bottled water production has produced water shortages in areas near bottling plants and plastic bottle plants. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles.

The next time you begin to feel thirsty stop before you grab a bottle of water! Go to the nearest computer and google personal water filters. You will find a filtered bottle that you can use in the city to filter regular tap water. The filters are designed to remove everything you dislike about tap water.

College Students can be Green Too!

Friday, December 28th, 2007

The college years are an exciting transitional time for young people. For many, college is the first time they have been on their own, and they’re faced with being responsibe for their own actions and their own well-being. For some students, college is the first time they are faced with making their own choices. It can be overwhelming, and the pressure of making green choices might just be too much to handle. There are five simple choices students can make in their transition into adulthood that can easily lessen their footprint while in college.

Walk. Nearly all college campuses are designed to be walker-friendly. College may be the only time when driving a car is not absolutely necessary. However, if being completely car-free isn’t an option, park it and leave it. Campus parking is notoriously frustrating, and keeping your car parked in a lot is a lot easier than futilely circling the parking lot to find another space. Use your feet, a bike, or campus transportation to get from your dorm to class to the library.

Eat greener. Choose a diet based in whole-grains, fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins from plants sources, such as beans and nuts, will not only reduce your carbon footprint, but will help fight off the dreaded freshman 15 (pounds that is). Many dining halls are getting with the program and offering a wider-variety of meat-free entrees, and partnering with local farms to offer organic and local produce. If yours doesn’t, take advantage of those student dining surveys to express a preference for local, organic, and fair-trade food choices.

Drink greener. Stop drinking bottled water. It is expensive and damages the environment. Choose to use a filtered water bottle that will eliminate your plastic bottle waste. These Portable Water Filters are perfect for you and environment.

Recycle. May be more convenient on college campuses than in the general community. Dorms often have trash rooms where students dispose of their garbag. They almost always have recycling bins for cardboard, plastic, glass, cans, and paper. In your dorm room use two separate waste cans, one for trash and one for recyclables. This makes disposal a breeze.
Reuse. Consider used items when looking for college gear. Find used furniture, clothes, etc..
Students make big changes when they take the step from high school to college. That makes this transition the perfect time to take small steps for a greener life.

Ways To Be More Green With Your Water Usage….

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

1. Drip Drip Drip
Dripping faucets can waste gallons and gallons of water every day. A leaky toilet can use 90,000 gallons of water in a month. You solve this by changing the washers on your sinks and showers, or get new washer-less faucets. Of course, the easiest and cheapest way to start saving water is to properly maintain your sinks, showers, etc.
2. Good water habits
Try to stay aware of this precious resource disappearing while brushing your teeth or shaving and always wash laundry and dishes with full loads. When washing dishes by hand, fill up the sink and turn off the water. Take shorter showers or, if you have good friends, shower with a friend. To put things in perspective, take a quick look at your next water bill when it arrives. It probably won’t be costing you too much, but the average household consumes multiple thousands of gallons each month. See if you can make this number go down.
3. Stay off the bottle
Bottled water sucks. In most first-world countries, the tap water is provided by a government utility and is tested regularly. Water tests have shown in many municipalities, tap water is actually better than bottled water. Bottled water is not as well regulated and studies have shown that it is not even particularly pure. Most bottled water doesn’t come from an “Artesian spring” and is just tap water anyhow. Coca Cola is known for adding salt to Dasani bottled water so now you get salt from water not just the local fast food restaurant. Reasons to avoid Bottled water are because it is even more expensive per gallon than gasoline, bottled water incurs a huge carbon footprint from its transportation, and the discarded bottles do not decompose. If you want to carry your water with you, get a filtered water bottle and fill it up as you go. Having a filter built into your water bottle will allow you to re-use the bottle and get great taste for free! If your water at home tastes funny, don’t worry cause your filtered water bottle will remove the bad taste, bad odor, and chlorine chemicals.
4. Harvest your rainwater
Put a rain barrel on your downspouts and use this water for irrigation. Rain cisterns come in all shapes and sizes ranging from large underground systems to smaller, freestanding ones.
5. At the car wash
Car washes are often more efficient than home washing and treat their water rather than letting it straight into the sewer system. But check to make sure that they clean and recycle the water.
6. Keep your eyes open
Report broken pipes, open hydrants, and excessive waste. Don’t be shy about pointing out leaks to your friends and family members, either. They might have tuned out the dripping sound a long time ago.
7. Don’t spike the punch
Water sources have to be protected. In many closed loop systems like those in cities around the Great Lakes, waste water is returned to the Lake that fresh water comes out of. Don’t pour chemicals down drains, or flush drugs down toilets; it could come back in diluted form in your water.
