Goes Green Fights for Clean Drinking Water - What is the Clean Water Act

Clean Water Action Calls on Congress to Fight Drugs in Drinking Water

Where is and what is the Clean Water Act when we need it?

As to your immediate needs, pure fresh drinking water for your home is essential. Purchasing all those plastic drinking bottles are not the answer. What we spend in the US on bottled water would take care of the worlds needs. Not to account for the reality of that entire plastic most often ending up in landfills. There is a better way. A pure water filter that clears your water, then refill the correct type of water bottle at home. Good for environment, good for you and family.

Look at the options and then also get high quality food grade plastic water bottle that are easily cleaned and re-use it indefinitely. Now you are making a difference not just talking about it.

“The United States has some of the best drinking water in the world. So you might think that we know what effect trace amounts of pharmaceuticals have on humans and wildlife once they end up in our water, but we don't.

According to the AP report, "People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residues."

We also tell people drinking water and weight loss goes hand in hand. But that should be pure drinking water. Would anyone knowingly drink toxic water, even if it takes years for the effects to manifest in disease?

We are fortunate to be able to show you what is being done to help by our company, a company that dedicates is self to research for the highest of quality of all products and services but also for its global awareness and involvement. Pure filtered water is key for health and wellness.

But how do the drugs get into our drinking water?

An Associated Press investigation published March 10th, 2008, found that the drinking water of millions of Americans may be contaminated by a wide range of pharmaceuticals. Most communities that have looked have found low levels of prescription drugs in their water - including cattle antibiotics, estrogens and other hormones - and the antidepressants that doctors are no longer permitted to prescribe to adolescents. The toll on your health and the lack of issimulation caused by these meds is great, leading to long range disease.

Green Energy for America

I recieved this eamil and felt the need to pass it on, please read and get involved. The solution of rebuilding this country is in our hands, not just the government. We can not sit by and grumble, roll up the sleves and make as statement. Is that too much to ask?

Dear Tana,
I asked Troy Galloway -- a former steelworker who now builds wind turbine blades -- to share his story. Congress needs to support more opportunities like this and revitalize the economy.

From: Troy GallowaySubject: Worst day of my life
The worst day of my life was when I got that pink slip. I expected to work in the steel mill until the day I retired, and then suddenly my job and my livelihood were gone.

Then in 2006 a wind turbine company opened two plants near my home in Hollsopple, Pennsylvania. Today, I build the blades for wind turbines that are powering parts of America with clean electricity.

A clean energy job saved my family and me, and many more in my community. But with the current economic mess, even some of my smartest and hardest-working friends here are still struggling -- as I know millions of Americans are.

That's why I am asking you for help.

We need millions more green jobs -- like the one that saved me -- all across the nation. And those jobs will only be available if our leaders in Washington take bold steps.

Please sign the petition to our leaders here:
http://www.RepowerAmerica.org/troyvideo

Here's what the petition says:

"Congress must support bold national policies this year to transition to a clean energy economy and help solve the climate crisis. We urge you to cap carbon pollution to help create the jobs and businesses that will Repower America."

I'm hearing some talk on TV about how we can't afford to deal with the climate crisis and the economic crisis at the same time. Well, my experience shows we can't afford not to. The green jobs that reduce carbon pollution are this country's ticket out of a deep economic rut.

I hear that we lost half a million jobs last month. Imagine if those laid-off workers could turn in their pink slips for jobs in wind, solar, clean cars and green technology.

Well, our leaders in Washington have an opportunity to deliver green jobs like these to cities and towns all across America.
Send them a message today:

Troy

Goes Green and the Childrens Project

Go Green and Get a Healthy Home and Family

 
When I find a site that really needs to get the word out, I like to expose them through our Goes Green Site.

A Google Search for home environmental toxins brought me to the site Healthy Children Project. They talk about the exposures of environmental toxins and how they adversely effect development and health. Some of the consequences are Developmental and learning disabilities linked to exposure to environmental toxins.

The key is knowledge and the ACTION. What you can do to reduce exposure to environmental toxins in your home and community. They have a Quiz and a wealth of important information. Please take some time to go to: Healthy Children Project.

Then the Laundry which later I discovered was more important than I thought. My allergies we so sever and here I had been wearing clothing that was covering my skin which is known to be the largest organ for elimination but also for assimilation of all the toxins.


Whew, no wonder I had such problems with emotions, headaches and itching. So Non Toxic and fragrence free detergants were fully established in our home and center.

Of course we already had green water filters, had been doing that for years. Pure water is the essence of all life. How’s your home water?


It is our hope that these reminders will help more families be healthy both physically and emotionally. Blessing and please pass this on to all those families, especially those with health issues for themselves and loved ones. Together we can make a difference.
