We've all read the stories about how municipal water systems in the United States are contaminated with toxins such as lead, mercury, copper and even bacteria. In some parts of the country, stories of raw sewage leaks into fresh water supplies have made the news. And, people have reacted by drinking expensive bottled water as a supposedly healthier alternative to ordinary, inexpensive tap water.

And, we're learning that bottled water isn't as healthy for us...

Studies have shown that almost 80% of Americans are walking around dehydrated. Many of us drink too much caffeinated coffee, soda, or energy drinks, and these can cause our bodies to lose water. This is a cause for concern because water is necessary for our bodies to digest and absorb vitamins and nutrients. Moreover, water detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and also carries waste away from the body. There are also several other benefits to keeping your body well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and a steady dose of 8 glasses per day (or ½ your body weight in ounces) can increase your mental clarity, improve your energy, keep your skin healthy, and allow for proper digestion. In addition...

To fight high energy bills, I use a multiple prong approach throughout my house. Since any one of these methods can offer energy savings, I prefer to combine and use them as much as possible to maximize my savings. The following is my list of energy saving tips, in order from easiest to implement to most difficult. 1) Use Fluorescent Light Bulbs While fluorescent bulbs cost more than incandescent bulbs initially, they last a lot longer and use a lot less electricity, so the savings overall are considerable. I had a light fixture that used four 60 watt bulbs. I was able to switch to using four 15 watt fluorescent bulbs that produce the same light as the 60 watt ones. In other words, I went from...

A bowl cleaner is a stronger type which has more caustic acid to clean salts and hard water from...

It is apparent that we are in some desperate situations: Texas (where the large oil refineries are) just experienced a major hurricane disaster and this is the exact climate for high gas price increase. Lehman Brothers just filed bankruptcy and Wall Street is scrambling for help. This is another disaster for high gas prices. We are in the process of an election and the economy is a steady topic, but there is no immediate help with the gas prices. Chavez chased the UN ambassador out of his country and his country does supply gas to the US. This is another disaster for trouble with high gas prices. I could go on and on. You listen to the news and hear how it is all playing out. Over the weekend, I...

Our lives can be so busy and routine, we often neglect preparing our families and our homes for the unexpected.

Assuming that you are able to stay within your home during an emergency, the following tips can assist you in your preparation efforts. Food Supply If this is your first attempt at starting a food supply then shoot for something short-term like 2-3 months worth. Stick to your existing grocery buying habits (hopefully healthy and wholesome) and buy a little extra...

I recently found myself in a very significant discussion with a new survivalist who was greatly disturbed about not having an adequate supply of food and water. We sat and discussed an assortment of ways to accumulate survival foods and the diverse types of foods at his disposal for use in his emergency kits. Finally we began discussing his necessary water resources. He acknowledged that the few bottles which he managed to purchase and store developed problems. It appears that he stores his emergency provisions in a metal backyard shed. During the winter of 2008 he had several store bought gallon containers of water freeze up on him. Naturally this caused the containers to split open creating quite...

every company discusses, at length, the need for customer service and the significance of supplying true excellence to its customers. However, very few actually follow through with what it takes to attain this excellence. This is particularly true in the bottled water business since not all providers share the opinion that customer service is of the utmost importance in any business. The bottled water industry services a wide customer base with numerous companies and individual clients. The industry is characterized by a small number of very large firms and a substantial number of relatively small consumers with specific geographic niches. The Nature of the Business: The bottled water business...

There are many different types of aquariums. There is pretty much one for each level of enthusiast and not all aquariums are for fish. There are aquatic plant aquariums as well and they are very beautiful. One of the simplest of aquariums is a fish bowl. A fish bowl can even be part of a table arrangement. When one chooses a fish bowl it should be a big one. At least a gallon. You'll also need a small net and two 1 gallon bottles of drinking water that is not distilled or de-ionized, as tap water isn't safe for your fish. Even if water is treated with water conditioners it still wouldn't be safe. You will also need some floating fish food. You will need to fill your fish bowl 2' form the...

If you have had a fire in your home you know the pervasive damage that smoke can do. Smoke leaves a layer of soot on everything and the getting rid of the smell of smoke after a home fire is a major chore.

The insides of the drawers are another story; here are some natural ways to do this. Believe it our not, ground coffee can be helpful. The powerful aroma of coffee can help...

As soon as any sort of emergency situation is over the people involved usually vow that they will be well prepared should the same thing happen to them in the future. The problem is that when disaster strikes again they are generally no better prepared the second time then they were the first. In all reality few homes have the necessary emergency supplies that would be required. As an example, something as simple as candles. If you were hit by a major power outage would you have candles readily available or would you find that you are stumbling around in the dark desperately searching for candles or flashlight batteries? Usually people who are unprepared use the excuse that they do not have the...

Lately, people are debating about which type of water to drink spring water/bottled water or tap/well water. Since water is a key component in flushing out impurities and toxins in the body, it is very important to know what you are drinking.

According to the Pacific Institute, in 2008, 53% of Americans were worried a great deal about pollution of drinking water (Top Environmental Concerns of the American Public: Selected Years, 1997-2008). If you don't trust your city water, you do have a couple of choices: filter your water at Point of Use; or purchase bottled water.

On first glance the home appeared cluttered and undecorated. I looked around for her 'feature collection' and concentrated on that. We redecorated the living room first, using things she already had on hand, even a swath of beige cloth she'd been planning to 'make something with' as a swag for the bay window. "Wow, you have some terrific art!" Let's put this all to work for you. Her collection of Ansel Adams was strung throughout the house and offered a foundation for the home presentation. We began by collecting her seven bold black and white prints matted in white with black frames. White walls were in good condition and the beige carpet was an attractive backdrop. We moved the gray-beige...

There have been recently lots of concerns about the bottled water delivery in plastics and the ecological impact of it all. Even though we all love water in the bottles (tastes so much better than tap water), there is a real concern about the plastic not being a recycling material and how it affects us. It is a clear upwards trend that people are buying bottled water regularly and using tap water that comes from municipal sources less and less. There is a reason for it, since the tap water is known to be full of contaminants that are simply bad for health. In US alone the consumption of bottled water has multiplied at practically double digit rates in the last few years. Also when it comes to...

But the truth is that cleaning products are marketed for us to buy way more than we need. All it takes is a few simple ingredients, and you can clean your whole home. Not to mention the fact that you could even make green cleaning products yourself from scratch - for a fraction of the price! It really isn't too hard to take the first steps to go green. What's Wrong With Traditional Cleaning Products? You may not know this, but there is no law in place that forces manufacturers of cleaning products to tell us what they're made from. Shockingly...

As we all know, there are many ways to get drinking water in our glass, when we are thirsty. Some people have refrigerators that dispense ice cold water, some people have filtered tap water, some people use filtered containers that they keep in the fridge and then there are ceramic water dispenser or as some call them, ceramic water crock users. Basically, the idea behind these stylish ceramic crocks, are centuries old. Back in the day, so to speak, there was a real need for something that could keep water contained and also moderately cool.

Bisphenol A, also known as BPA, is an organic compound which is usually seen in polycarbonate plastic compounds and epoxies. It is a very strong compound which is highly durable. Therefore it is used in the making of items like plastic bottles, baby feeders etc. The extensive use of BPA started in the 1930's. It was introduced as a substitute for estrogen. The organic compound of BPA is subjected to certain chemical reactions before using it. This is to increase the durability of the product. Studies done on BPA revealed that it has got toxins which can harmfully affect the human body, especially the endocrine system. Biologists gave it another name, 'endocrine disrupter.'

For the past 15 years, I refused to drink tap water unless it was filtered, and even then, I preferred bottled water, whether it was Calistoga, Evian or whatever sounded pure. I had no idea as to the harm I was putting into my body nor did I realize that even though I recycled my plastic bottles, most of them were just sitting in a landfill and will probably remain there for the next 1000 years or so. I have to mention that I also reused my bottles with filtered water which I drank at nights, not to mention a case of water in the trunk of the car in case it was needed. I came across a website called "The Story of Bottled Water" by Annie Leonard, and boy, was that an eye opener. I suggest everyone...

Even just offering a prize for every finisher can be a benefit to the organisers, as they know that a race with good prizes is more likely to get the runners back next year. And in return, if you offer printed promotional items, all of the runners will be seeing your logo.

A local 5k will attract serious runners along with a good amount of not so serious runners there to loose weight. And certain...

Bottles come in many shapes and sizes, colors and dimensions. One of the most common ones found is the plastic water bottle. Made from plastic, it normally has a tapered neck, a wider body with an aperture at the top. Generally, the mouth of the bottle is sealed with a bottle cap made of plastic. These plastic bottles are characteristically utilized to house liquids such as water, soft drinks, ink, milk, cooking oil and various types of medicine. The first known structure of natural plastic was formulated by none other than Leonardo Da Vinci. He fashioned plastic from glues derived from animals and plant life, and pooled with organic fibers. Upon aeration, the final result of this combination would...

Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, a proper level of hydration throughout your exercise, especially in the hot Summer days, is very important. Using bottle of water solves most of these issues, but carrying it in your hand during exercise means your body is not well balanced and that is also of importance. With a water bottle belt you can guarantee that there won't be additional distractions that would otherwise compromise the benefits of your run. While holding a water bottle in your left or right hand makes sense and is preferable sometimes, it is a very impractical solution if you want to maintain a high level of safety and efficiency in the running exercise.

The division between many designer and imitation products often causes crackdowns on knockoff dealers. So far, most knockoff fashion extends to clothing, handbags, and shoes, but fragrances can also be added to this list. Often sold in the same places as most types of knockoff handbags and clothing, imitation designer perfumes are designed to look and smell like the real thing - but they seldom do. While finding knockoffs in a department store is highly unlikely, a designer-like fragrance in an independent boutique store might not be authentic - especially if $40 designer handbags are placed right beside. What are some ways to tell if the designer perfume you're buying isn't real? Like all...

Although in ancient times perfume was merely the distillation of floral essences, perfume of today is created with both synthetic chemicals and nature based materials derived from either animals or botanical means. Many individuals can suffer from health risks when using or being around others who use perfume as well as those who suffer from perfumeallergies. Since the formulas used to make perfume is consider trade secrets by the manufacturers who make them, they are not required to listthe ingredients of their perfumes, so they generally list them as fragrance on their perfume bottle labels. Not knowing exactly what may be in any particular perfume leaves physicians lacking the information they...

All of us are concerned with the high price of fuel today. In addition, the fuel emissions and carbon footprint of a vehicle is enormous. What if you could get your fuel from a common source and possibly double your gas mileage. For less than it costs to fill your SUV, you can build a DIY hydrogen generator. Just as the more expensive hybrid technology stores the excess energy available when a vehicle is coasting to a stop, the hydrogen generator also stores that excess energy. Most of today hybrid vehicles use batteries to store the excess energy that is just wasted by conventional automobiles. The hydrogen generator stores the excess energy by converting water into hydrogen and hydrogen oxide...

If you've thought you'd like to learn how to make homemade wine, it's actually quite easy. Many people love a nice glass of wine at the holidays, I know I do. Wine making has evolved through the centuries than man has been fermenting grapes. I imagine the first wine was an accident and would probably be considered undrinkable by today's more sophisticated pallets. Almost everyone who has enjoyed a good glass of wine has thought about the idea of creating his or her own vintage. However, for millennia, the production of the "nectar of the gods" has been steeped in mystery. Of course, the few ambitious souls who have attempted to make their own wines using more chemistry skills than wine making...
