Drink water out of your taps. In South Africa, tap water is healthier than bottled water and it is 500 times cheaper!

My second mission is about water crisis which draws attention on the shortage of resources. I made an alliance with a water visionary called Global Water Challenge. I am the member of schools in central America program. The key to this mission is to make a big, fun and memorable plan to capture the world’s attention. I plan to design a spectacular event which employs children to play the role of water molecules. Using the personification way to demonstrate that humans have wasted water in many way which leads the severe water crisis.

In order to help people with water sanitation issues it is important to invest as much as possible to the Ashoka program. Ashoka uses its funding in education to help prevent many of the current water sanitation issues seen in areas where clean water is not an abundant resource. It is my opinion that education to the people and children in these unfortunate areas will be the key to their survival in the near future.

To help them further their water security effort,i could install low-flow shower heads.I could help them check for leaks in their pipes in and around their house.They could turn off their water when brushing thier teeth,or washing dishes.They should only water their lawn or plants at night.They should fill one bucket of water when washing their car and should't use a hose!They should drink tap water,wash their fruits and vegetables in a bowl instead of washing them under a tap.They should use the water from the bowl to water their garden.Further more,they could keep a jug of water in the fridge so they don't have to turn the tap on all the time.They could as well run their washer or dishwasher when it's a full load.Finally,they could encourage their local schools,businesses,and government to develop and promote a water conversation effort in the community.

Instead of drinking from bottled water I use a water purification system from the fridge. This saves on money and also helps because plastic bottles are not being wasted. HarvestH2O.com is a great Web site to visit because they discuss ways to sustain water by using stored rain water.

i use eco friendly water filters. I think this is the best way to make a difference. I use to drink nothing but bottled water, because i didnt trust the purification of tap water, however i realized that by drinking bottled water, i was still doing an injustice because we still had to dispose of the water bottles.

we should put filtered water in recycled bottles to conserve it for when you need it most.

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
