I'll Drink to That
March 24, 2020
This one has been in the works for a while, and I'm really surprised we've managed to keep it under wraps for the wh*** time. But the look on the the world's collective face will be well worth the effort to keep it a surprise.
After literally a year of planning, bargaining, and otherwise navigating the cantankerous bureaucracy that is international politics, my team and I have managed to take an impossible pipe-dream and make it into a reality.
A handful of UN member nations (who shall remain anonymous until they declare their involvement officially) have agreed to a clean water awareness stunt of epic proportions. Here are the plans.
1. Each nation will select an open source, low tech, and previously proven means of efficient water purification from those currently out there (sand filtration, reed filtration, pedal power filtration, etc.).
2. The leaders of these nations have agreed to drink and serve water harvested from a non potable water source in their countries and purified using their chosen technique at their State residence for a month.
3. They are to give full press coverage to this and doc**ent their findings to prove the efficacy of that technique.
Just imagine the PM of Britain drinking water from the Thames at Downing St. Or perhaps Mother Ganges making an appearance at the next State dinner held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
This action will hopefully bring these technologies into greater public awareness, and also demonstrate the support for such projects at the highest levels of government world-wide.
Stay tuned to see if your country has decided to participate. Or, even better, write in and encourage them to do so.

+1 Creativity. This is an often used strategy when a new water source is implemented in rural communities in Kenya. A seniour government official usually drinks a glass of water from the water source as a sign of confidence in its "drinkability".

@ Shakwei, Thanks! And fascinating, I wasn't aware that any form of this actually goes on. Good to know I'm tapping into the right current then. :-)

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
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.
