Tap Vs. Bottle

     Watching the videos I thought that the bottled water was cleaner, healthier, and tastier than the tap water. Once I started to watch the videos and they started talking about how the water companies were lying about how their "spring" water was way healthier than the tap water. But really the majority if the percent of the water was just processed tap water. Then when they tested the tap water and the "spring" healthy bottled water for particles and germs and other chemicals that could hurt our body, they found that there was absolutely no difference between the tap water and the bottled water.
 
     Earlier we had done a water taste test, the difference in the water was almost nothing, the only one I could tell was the tap water, it taste like if it has chlorine in it, ( Trust me I know what chlorine taste like, because sometimes when I'm at swim team i swallow some.) but other than that I was all water to me.

     If we stop drinking bottled water it will help stop pollution, toxic gases in the air, huge mountains of water bottles across the countries. And the difference in the water is no different. So let's see if we can help stop all the pollution in the world.

What if I had been born in Africa

     How would my life be impacted if I were born in a developing country like Africa. Being born in a country like Africa  would be a life that I couldn't even imagine. Having my mother and sister have to walk many miles and hours in a dangerous place would be unthinkable, and then when they get back its water that can't be drunk without having many negative sideaffects. It would make my life totally different, not knowing when the next meal would come from, or whether I would have something to drink, and the water that I did drink would upset my stomach or maybe even lead me down the road of death. It's something that would be pretty scary.
       To help with this problem that they are having you can give just twenty dollars to build a well in village, that's it, not only will it give these people water but will open so many doors for the Africans, they will be able to use the time the spent getting water in school, then eventually they might get a job or even start a business. It's a great opportunity that they will have if they can have a well in their village.
       As a Christian my role would be to donate money to help build wells in a village. That would help not just with water but for education especially for women and girls. Also it would be to send Bibles and bible studies to them so that they could also know of the living water, along with the physical water.

How to tell if water is portable

     When I first started to think on how to tell if water is portable I new something's such as seeing if you saw little particles in your water. ( if you see that you shouldn't drink it.) but I also knew that that want the only way to tell if water was really portable. As I kept reading I found out that sometimes there are very harmful chemicals and minerals that could be in your water. Like lead thats toxic, you don't want to be drinking water with that in it. Its pretty bad if you have lead in because its toxic and enough could kill, and for a parent because you tell your kids to drink water, and if it has toxic things in it you harming your child. So to get your water detoxified you have to have a professional come to your house and change your filter and work on it till its detoxified.

DHMO

     When I initially heard of  DHMO I had no idea what it was, I had never even heard of it before. Once I started reading on it I slowly started to realize that this was something serious, it wasn't some chemical that was just something minor. DHMO is a chemical that has many effects, both on the human body and on our planet. It causes global warming, acid rain, soil erosion, hurricanes, tsunamis,  and much more. Not only does it have horrible affects on the planer, but deadly affects on the human body, such as cancer, tumors and many other diseases. My feelings towrds, DHMO was that it should be used very carfully or not even at all. Then when I foud out the what DHMO was simply water I was stunned, because  hadnt read anything on that. And then thats were I figured out what DHMO had to do with the freeom of water.
       After my experiance on reserching DHMO and reading false information, that made me realize that  I shouldn't just check one website for a piece of information. I need to go to multiple sites to find out what that topic really is. Because if I have no knowledge on a topic and I go and just use one resource, the chances of me reading the wrong information is pretty high. So if I had done a report on what DHMO was, it would have been totally wrong. Me doing this assignment has changed my thinking on digital information. I now no the importance of checking multiple sites to find my information.

Freedom of Water

     Water to me is one of the major things that is so vitally important for the human being. Water is the cure for so many symptoms and sicknesses. Without water we would dehydrate, sure there are other drinks that help keep you hydrated that give you energy. But water is the best hydration method that their is. After all God is the one who made and provides water for us.

     There are so many uses and purposes for water. Like I wrote earlier. You can use water for drinking it, well actually your supposed to. You use water to wash your self, you use it when you cook.  Its even used to relax the body, for example of  like soaking in hot water.

     Swimming is a great why to have fun and even exercise. While swimming you work your whole body, you have to use your arms and legs, even muscles you didn't know existed. After swimming you feel refreshed, something about water just refreshes the soul. Even if you just did a hard workout you will still feel refreshed.
