Las Vegas Living - Such a Good Deal?

The star studded movie, Ocean's 11 and it's depicted Vegas-style living does ooze a certain kind of appeal, as it represents a variety of lifestyle ideas that stretch beyond the boundaries of conservative living. Souls can live the way they want to, or above ground so to speak - without harsh judgement by others. Unfortunately, there are secrets that the ground holds that may not be as appealing. For instance, radioactive groundwater is seeping it's way past nuclear test site boundaries in Nevada. Tainted water emanates from Pahute Mesa where devices for nuclear tests were detonated. The Benham nuclear test of '68 alone produced a yield equivalent to detonating 1.15 megatons of TNT.  That's larger than the yields from the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The Dept. of Energy, conducting recent surveys, has discovered that water from a recently completed upstream well, near the cavity of Benham has found tritium levels 3,000 times above the safe drinking water limit. That's all the more reason to take precautionary measures with one's drinking supplies.

Water Availability and Wealth - No Surprise

Corps that owned or operated water systems were bringing on over 200 billion a year and yet they were serving only 7% of the population, according to the New York Times. That was in 2002. Access to piped water in the household averages about 85% for the wealthiest 20% of the population, compared with 25% for the poorest 20%. That was determined in 2006 by the United Nations Human Development Report. As of 2010, a later report from the same agency stated “If you live in a slum in Manila, you pay more for your water than people living in London." With such wild shifts taking place in our world's economic system, perhaps the smartest thing for individuals to do is to revisit the basics of life: water, food and shelter.

Weed Killer Chemicals Infiltrate Drinking Systems

We humans are not out of the weeds yet, when it comes to figuring out that we are the sole culprits in Earth's entire contamination cycle. Again, another example of our separatist mindset parlays into the Atrazine Settlement for Public Water Systems in Illinois. A federal judge granted preliminary approval for a national class action suit that may ultimately pave the way for cleaner water systems across the country. Everything we create in the future must be Earth friendly, or we'll always end up paying a price. Aquaverve systems safeguard your water.
