Unto 7th Generation

Some say: "The Earth is our Mother; we should take care of her." While others think the Earth is an easy receptacle for our wastes and toxins. How can I, one person or even one family, really make a difference? And is it that important anyway?

We see so much hype on TV and in newspapers on the growing devestation of the earth's environment and the loss of so many species of animals, plants and trees. The oceans are becoming a sewer but when I look around my neighborhood it is so easy to just not see the problem.

So is it hype or is it time to aweaken to the fact that this is the only world we live on and the one we are leaving to our children and grandchildren. I appreciate the teaching of many native people I've been privilaged to work with and study with in different areas of the world. Often they say "unto the 7th generation" when making decisions. In other words .... STOP and consider how this action or non action will affect future generations.

If someone were to come along and dump a load of garbage in your front yard, I'd assume uou'd be a bit miffed yet daily we are dumping and dumping and dumping into the waterways, earth and skies that hold the very elements you and I need for survival.

So let us talk about it and find solutions that we can do to make a difference!

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?
What is the Clean Water Act Web Site (go to them please and get involved, do just read about it, DO something. This does affect you, your family, your home and your neighborhood - which is now globel.

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.
