Water

Hello Again,

 

 

 

 

 Water 

Dispose of your
bottles carefully

Some places have too much and other places don't have enough!


Is this machine a cure for drought?  The breakthrough was developed by MIT and university of Californian scientists.  It creates water from air using the power of the sun! There is more fresh water in the atmosphere than in all of the rivers on the planet combined.

Or will we be eating little balls of H2O in the future?  It may help the pollution problem from 16 million plastic water bottles being dumped in the United Kingdom each year alone.


In just one day, 200 million work hours are consumed by women collecting water for their families. Diarrhoea caused by dirty water and bad sanitation is the second biggest child killer worldwide,  unsafe water kills 200 children every hour.  A lack of clean water and toilets keeps girls out of school, stops women from working, and traps people in poverty.

WateraidUK is one of the many charities helping 38 countries in the world by transforming millions of people's lives by improving access to clean water and sanitation. Why don't you pop along and see how you can help.

Or even check your own environment. A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year.

Or if everyone in the US used just one less gallon of water per shower every day, we could save some 85 billion gallons of water per year.

70% of the Earth is covered with water but only about 1% of the world’s water is readily available for human use. Nearly 97% is salty or otherwise undrinkable. 
 
Another 2% is locked in the ice caps and glaciers.

That leaves just 1% for all humanity’s needs.
So we all need to conserve and respect our water.


Obviously  we need to hydrate ourselves as  you can’t survive without water.

 It makes up over half of your body and is essential for you to function properly.

Water is the best choice when it comes to meeting your body's needs for fluids.

It doesn't have any calories and is free if you drink tap water.  

If you don't like the taste of your local water there are many bottled waters on the market now including  Harrogate Water.
