Is your water SAFE?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

If you drink tap water, I hope you have heard about the many recent problems associated with municipal water. As a general rule, the water that comes from the tap might or might not be safe for us. The water always has chlorine, and in some cases, is quite large amounts and in many cases is not safe water to drink. It is widely known that chlorine is very bad for us, especially in large quantities and over a long period of time. Tap water also can contain large amounts of heavy metals, like Lead and Mercury. These metals are especially dangerous for children, elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

What do I do?

For starters, quit drinking tap water on a regular basis. You will realize after not drinking the water for an extended period, when you go back and drink it again it will smell like chlorine and will have a bad taste. You need to immediately begin using water filters everywhere you go. Get some water filters for the house and for the refrigerator. When you are at work, traveling, or at the gym, make sure you get a water filter bottle. These personal water filters can be filled up with ordinary tap water and the filter inside will filter your water as you drink.

Stay healthy, help the environment, drink filtered water today!

Five Ways To Go More Green

Friday, July 18th, 2008

1. Ease up on the meat

DID YOU KNOW to produce 1 kilogram of boneless beef it takes 6.5 kilograms of grain, 36 kilograms of roughage (coarse grains and pasture), and 155 litres of drinking water.  A vegetarian diet has been calculated to require only 300 gallons of water per day, while a meat eating diet requires 4,000 gallons per day. Can imageine that you save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you do by not showering for an entire year. Do you part and eat more Chicken!

2. Get a water filter bottle

Starting with just one person, the effect of reducing the number of plastic bottles being thrown away can be amazing. Do your part by getting a portable water filter or water bottle filter for everyday use. Water Filters are good for you and save the environment. 

3. Start with a good green design

Custom building a house? Talk with your architect and plumb it for greywater recovery. Greywater recovery uses separate pipes from the toilets and the rest of the house. Redesign the roof to collect, mitigate, or filter runoff water. The water can be directed to big cisterns that can hold enough water to last through the entire summer. Choose permeable paving to allow water to soak through to the ground instead of it washing away. Want to really go extra green in this new construction, consider filtering grey (or even black) water with natural plants and other organisms. Lastly, landscape for your climate. If you live in the desert don’t plant grass because it will require too much water and will create a non-green situation.

4. Get involved

in Africa and Asia approximately half of the population has no access whatsoever to clean water. It has been reported that every 10 seconds a child dies because of dirty water. Estimates have shown 4 million children under five die every year due to water-born diseases (like cryptosporidium, giardia, etc). Over 1.1 billion children have no clean water nearby their homes. Many children in third-world countries share the same water they use to drink, cook and bathe with their livestock animals. You don’t have to be an actor to get involved, but here is an example: Matt Damon set up H2OAfrica after he “saw firsthand the effects of one of the largest public health issues of our time, the world water crisis which is at its worst in Africa.” Even churches are starting campaigns to control the spread of bottled water.

5. Location

We may find that many of water sources are going to disappear in the near future. We should be looking to live in areas of the world that can easily sustain us with out the artificial means in which we heavily rely upon.

** Think about these 5 things and do what you can to go greener than just plain green.

Did You Know These Facts on Filtered Water Bottles??

Monday, March 17th, 2008

A filtered water bottle is a bottle that has a filter attached to the cap. The filter removes things like chlorine, bad taste, and bad odors from the water.

The following are some facts about the benefits of drinking filtered water from a filtered water bottle instead of drinking bottled water:

1) The averege filtered water bottle filter will last up to 80 gallons with optimal water
a) assuming the water you drink is optimal this means two replacement filters you purchase for $13 will give you 160 gallons at a cost of $0.12 a gallon.

b) It would take 8 – 16oz bottles of water to equal one gallon. If you pay $1.00 to $2.00 per bottle you will be paying somewhere between $8.00 to $16.00 to equal the same amount of water you can drink for $0.12 through a filtered water bottle

2) The average bottle of water has only 16 ounces of water and costs $1-2.00 (depending on brand).
a) The cost of 16 ounces of filtered water through a filtered water bottle is $0.015!

b) The number of 16oz bottles of water you could eliminate drinking if you used a personal water filter bottle and got the full 80 gallons would be 640 bottles!

So you see there is a huge positive impact that can be made if you choose to give up bottled water and use the more affordable, environmentally friendly, convenient alternative to bottled water.

THE SOLUTION IS GET A PERSONAL WATER FILTER BOTTLE!!!!!
