Making Water Crisis a MYTH! - World Water Day 2020

Quick REWIND
Over the years, access to clean and safe water has been a very big challenge in developing countries. Many organisations, joint communities and individuals worked tirelessly to make this a myth.

10 years ago, Evoke Agents from different corners of the world joined hands and combined heads to discuss the water crisis. Through blogs, photos, and videos the agents shared experiences and ideas upon which communities have built the brilliant solutions that are sustainable.

Today I am still living in Uganda - a developing country. Well, I have to say that, water access has improved a lot and on average 90% of the house hold in developing countries have access to clean water sources [wells mainly].

Fast Forward::
Today we are celebrating the World Water Day 2020.
We are NOT just celebrating the improved clean water access, our major objective is to remind the communities the importance of water and sanitation around the world.

Planned Events:
- I specifically request the youth [students] to use their cultures, art and talent imaginations to come up with plays, paintings, take photos and videos demonstrating the status of water access from the past and how it is at present.

- For a period of one week preceding the World Water Day, communities should make field visits to share best practices and to enable them improve on their water repositories/ sources.

- Community Leaders to carry out tentative training sessions for the community to continue sensitizing the communities about sustainable water and sanitation projects.

- Evoke Agents all around the world your role is to report on events taking place in preparation for the World Water Day, post your photos, blogs and videos on Urgent Evoke, use social networks like Twitter, Flickr, You Tube and Facebook to promote your posts and to reach out to the wider internet community.

- Dress code is Blue and White to represent the colours of water. :)

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. 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. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. 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.
