Hydraulic fracturing, hydrofracking, or fracking is a method of natural gas drilling that involves pumping millions of gallons of water, sand, and hundreds of toxic chemicals thousands of feet underground to release tiny pockets of gas by breaking up the rock where the gas is trapped. Across the country, state regulators have documented over 1,000 incidents of groundwater contamination related to fracking. In many cases, water is so polluted with gas that people can literally light their water on fire, right out of the tap!

Unlike other technologies such as refrigerant dehumidification based systems that do not work in low humidity conditions, Aqua Sciences' revolutionary technology extracts water from the atmosphere virtually anywhere that human beings live. These atmospheric water extraction machines can be furnished and installed in disaster sites, urban, rural and isolated communities to capture, purify and dispense water of superior quality on demand. Makes up to 500 to 1,200 gallons of water a day (depending on conditions and type of water station used). Self-powered by diesel generator (7-day supply), or by grid electricity. Environmentally friendly due to lower energy requirements and no harmful or toxic by-products.
ERI's tough engineered ceramic PX Pressure Exchanger will make desalination affordable for the whole world. Only one moving part, no scheduled maintenance, and up to 98% efficiency. Turning ocean water into fresh water will no longer be as expensive as it used to be. Now we can finally start using the oceans as a major source of fresh water to help end thirst and grow more food.
More than a billion people worldwide do not enjoy water on tap in or near their homes. Access to water requires many hours of waiting in lines and carrying heavy loads. Women and children are predominantly confronted with this daily task, limiting their educational and economic opportunities. Traditional methods of collecting water include carrying heavy 5 gallon buckets on the head. Over time, these heavy loads place an enormous strain on the skeletal frame, causing long-term damage and premature aging.
The practical and durable design of the Hippo Roller enables more water to be transported more efficiently than traditional methods. The Hippo, with it's large drum capacity of 24 gallons, frees women and children from having to spend a large portion of every day dedicated to collecting water for their households. Saves time and energy, reduces suffering, and empowers women and children.
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter System
I used to have LifeStraw on this page, but many people complain online that you have to suck too hard to get enough water. Squeezing dirty water through a filter into a clean bottle is easier and doesn't require hard sucking (or sucking of any kind). From what I've seen on the Internet, seems like people say that the Sawyer Squeeze is better than the Sawyer Micro Squeeze, so that's why I have it on this page.
Weighing just 3 ounces, the versatile, award-winning Sawyer Squeeze Filter is incredibly simple to use and fits in the palm of your hand. The durable, collapsible 32-ounce reusable squeeze pouch rolls up when empty, so it won't take up space in your pack or suitcase. Removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, such as salmonella, cholera, and E.coli and 99.9999% of all protozoa, such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
Whether hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, or traveling abroad, the Sawyer Squeeze All-in-One Water Filtration System will ensure you have access to clean water in the backcountry or anywhere in the world.

The Rosso Water Floating Fortress is a massive (18 ft. by 6 ft.) water mat that has a staggering weight capacity of 1,200 pounds (6-8 people). Resembling a floatable dock, the Floating Fortress has many different applications that provide fun for the entire family, whether it be the kids playing on it or the adults sunbathing on top of it, enjoying some drinks. Made from cross-linked polyethylene foam, the Floating Fortress is extremely durable, as it is tear resistant and does not fade in the sun. The Floating Fortress is equipped with enhanced features, such as Velcro storage straps and a 12 ft. bungee tether.
Sure, this is a fun product, but I wonder if having one of these on your boat could also save your life in an emergency? They should make an emergency raft with this material too.

Some people appear to have a mental illness because they have a vitamin B deficiency. For example, the wife of a guy I used to chat with online had severe mood swings which seemed to be caused by food allergies or intolerances. She would became irrational, obnoxious, throw tantrums, and generally act like she had a mental illness. The horrid behavior stopped after she started taking a vitamin B complex. I’ve been taking #ad Jarrow B-Right for many years. It makes me much easier to live with.
Unfermented soy is bad! “When she stopped eating soy, the mental problems went away.” Fermented soy doesn’t bother me, but the various versions of unfermented soy (soy flour, soybean oil, and so on) that are used in all kinds of products these days causes a negative mental health reaction in me that a vitamin B complex can’t tame. The sinister encroachment of soy has made the careful reading of ingredients a necessity.
If you are overweight, have type II diabetes, or are worried about the condition of your heart, check out the videos by William Davis and Ivor Cummins. It seems that most people should avoid wheat, not just those who have a wheat allergy or celiac disease. Check out these books: #ad Undoctored, #ad Wheat Belly, and #ad Eat Rich, Live Long.
Negative ions are good for us. You might want to avoid positive ion generators and ozone generators. Whenever I need a new air cleaner (with negative ion generator), I buy it from surroundair.com. A plain old air cleaner is better than nothing, but one that produces negative ions makes the air in a room fresher and easier for me to breathe. It also helps to brighten my mood.
Never litter. Toss it in the trash or take it home. Do not throw it on the ground. Also remember that good people clean up after themselves at home, out in public, at a campsite and so on. Leave it better than you found it.
Climate Change Cash Grab = Bad
Seems like more people than ever finally care about water, land, and air pollution, but the climate change cash grab scam is designed to put more of your money into the bank accounts of greedy politicians. Those power-hungry schemers try to trick us with bad data and lies about overpopulation while pretending to be caring do-gooders. Trying to eliminate pollution is a good thing, but the carbon footprint of the average law-abiding human right now is actually making the planet greener instead of killing it.
