Do something positive
I took a week off of blogging last week but I'm back. I suppose it was a dry run for the ten days off I'm taking when I go on vacation in less than three weeks. Hot Dog!
Anyhow, I took every week off to assume deep, design-associated mind. Part of that method is coming up ways to put myself as a part of the solution to the global challenges of environmental degradation, weather change, efficient use of natural assets with no end in sight. Seriously, I urge humans to apply water filters for his or her drinking water to get them off the bottled water to cite an instance. It's funny how snowed most humans have grow to be through the bottled water enterprise and it's occurred so fast it is downright shocking whilst you reflect onconsideration on it. Seriously, think about how extraordinary and indulgent Evian appeared ten years in the past. Now they sell the stuff a quickee marts in conjunction with 30 other manufacturers of bottled water. Most of those manufacturers are filtered tap water, all of 'em value greater than a dollar, and all of 'em are bottled in pseudo-estrogen-leaching future strong waste. STOP USING BOTTLED WATER PLEASE.
Vestergaard Frandsen has developed a personal water filter called a Life Straw. Life Straw is an over sized drinking straw with an on board water filter. A single Life Straw can provide safe drinking water for an individual for a year-and-a-half. They cost two dollars. For two dollars, already crapped-upon people in the developing world won't die from waterborne diseases. That's a little more than cost of a single bottle of Fiji. Vestergaard Frandsen has also developed a larger version of the Life Straw that can purify the water for a whole family for the same period of time. The whole-family version costs $25 --that's less than I paid for my Brita and I have safe drinking water to begin with
Project H is a humanitarian, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of the impoverished by distributing products such as Life Straw. Project H is now running an initiative to distribute Life Straw Family filters in Mumbai . For $25 dollars, you can provide safe drinking water to a family in India. And all you have to do is charge it through their website. So rather than buying cases of water at Publix this week, why not pass on it and make a donation to Project H instead? I did it this afternoon, sponsored a Life Straw Family that is. Think about it.
