                                                                       Water at Work in the World

Water inside world    Water plays a crucial role in the development of any nation, city, or even neighborhood.  Without water, nothing can even exist, let alone thrive.  Sustainer of life, creator of energy and Captain of the nautical highways, water makes the world go round.

Let’s do a little globe hopping and discover what water is up to in the Orient.

 

First though, a little electric lesson.

                                           Water in the News in America

 

Media    As I have written lately, you can’t open a newspaper, listen to the radio or turn on your television set without reading, hearing, or seeing something pertaining to water.

 

From the California drought to chemical spills in West Virginia and the algae blooms in Ohio, water is definitely in the news.

 

Today, it’s in New Jersey, where the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) announced last week (August 12th) that the capping of the two landfills in the townships of Cinnaminson and Duran, New Jersey, didn’t require any more action to be taken as the current measures have proven to be effective.  The sites drew national attention when the federal government

                                                 The State of Water in the World

 

 Water Globe Drop    Clean water is headline news as of late.  When you look at the stories coming out of Ohio and their poisoned water supply, the West Virginia chemical spill, California drought and the banning of plastic water bottles in San Francisco, water is getting some big time press time.

 

Yet, what of the rest of the world?  What is the status of the water supply around the globe?  How are people affected by the lack of clean water or even the unavailability of water at all?

 

Let’s take a look.   

 

According to data collected by the US Census Bureau, in 2012, the population of the United States was 313.9 million people.  In

The High Cost of Clean Water…is Rising

 

 

 

carafe-of-clean-and-dirty-water    Have you ever wondered what the annual costs are of drinking bottled water?  Probably not.  There is much to consider when figuring out the price.  Here are five facts that most bottled water drinkers probably don’t think about before they open that cooler door at the store and grab a bottle.

 

Green 5

 

  • Americans buy 50 billion plastic bottles of water each year

 

  • It requires 17 million barrels of oil to produce those bottles

 

  • We only recycle plastic at a rate of 23% so 38 billion bottles hit the landfill annually

 

  • The recommended 8 glasses of water a day will cost you about $50 from your tap yearly

Clean Drinking Water Becoming Scarcer Everyday

Drinking Water Becoming a Precious Commodity

 

 

 Family & Radio If you read the paper, watch the news, go on-line or listen to the radio, you are probably aware of all the water woes going on in this country as of late.

 

A chemical spill in West Virginia, flooding in Alabama and now poisoned water in Ohio to name but a few places that are struggling to find clean water.  While in California, some residents of that drought-plagued state are struggling to find water of any kind.  In some areas on the West Coast, you can be fined up to $500.00 for watering your lawn.

 

Last weekend in Toledo, Ohio, and surrounding areas, some 400,000 residents were warned not to

Tyent USA’s Carnival of Savings Going on Now!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On August 4, 2014 4:40 pm

 

 This is a Great Time to $ave a Thousand Dollars and More!

 

   Big-sale-rubber-stamp      It’s human nature.  When we go to buy something, we want a bargain.  We look for the best product at the best price.  I have no problem whatsoever driving a few extra miles if I know that gas is thirty cents a gallon cheaper at a certain station.  We cash in coupons at the store that save us a dollar or two and it adds up.  A good deal is great…but it can’t compare to a great deal.

 

When you can find an award-winning product, coupled with eye-popping savings, then you really have a bargain.

 

Carnival!    Tyent’s Carnival of Savings is kicking off the month of

Chemical Spill in West Virginia Spreads Fear And Danger 

 

 

Chemical-spill    Back in January, water was on the lips of most residents of Charleston, West Virginia.  Well, at least the word water was.

That particular Friday morning, workers at the Freedom Industries plant noticed a 35,000-gallon holding tank was leaking the chemical MCHM into the Elk River.  Citizens were informed that Charleston’s municipal water system had been contaminated and that Governor Earl Ray Tomblin had ordered a ban on all drinking, bathing, or cooking with city water.  As word and panic of the spill spread, nine more counties were added to the list.

 

By noon, more than 3oo,ooo people were without water for any purpose.  All businesses and schools

Tyent USA Looks At San Francisco’s Ban on Plastic Water Bottles

San Francisco Bans Bottled Water Sales!

 

San Fran Stamp

“San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality”.

                                                                            -Paul Kantner

 

 

In a noble, if somewhat puzzling effort, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to ban the sale of single-use bottled water smaller than 21 ounces from city property and events.  This ban also prohibits the sale of same by food trucks regulated by the city.  The city already has banned the use of plastic bags for sacking customer purchases.

 It is the hope of city officials that the banning of these plastic water bottles will induce a new mindset toward pollution reduction while helping to achieve the city’s goal to cut landfill waste down to zero by 2020.

The Results are in and Tyent USA Scores Off the Charts!

 

 A++   There is a lot of talk going on these days about water.  Out west, they are talking about the lack of it with a statewide drought in California the likes of which hasn’t been seen in decades.  Down south, the talk is the nearly five feet of water the city of New Orleans receives each year.

 

In the Eastern United States however, all the buzz is about the release of the test results from Envirotek Laboratories, the state approved,New Jersey testing facility for water purity.

The Great Lakes Map     North America is home to a series of fresh water lakes known as the Great Lakes.  Stretching from Minnesota to New York and from Illinois into Canada, these lakes contain nine tenths of all the fresh water in the United States and about a fifth of the world’s fresh surface water.

 There are five lakes in total (six if you count Lake St. Claire).  Can you name the remaining five Great Lakes?
