Filter Your Water

The benefits of filtering water have been touted for many years. Recent discoveries and improved technologies are making it easier and also proving that there are even more reasons to be concerned by what is coming out of your tap.

Researchers recently discovered that many city water supplies actually have traces of prescription drugs in them. This is most likely caused by people flushing old medications down the toilet. While the idea is good (it keeps the medication from getting into other people’s hands) it has had unexpected consequences.

People now have to worry about the medications AND the chemicals that may be clouding their water supply. Having a simple filtration system will limit your exposure to the different negative elements.

New technologies have also benefited consumers. There are now portable filtration systems (built into water bottles) that make it possible to have filtered water where ever you are AND to limit your contributions to the waste products piling up in dumps around the world.

There are now more reasons than ever to filter your water – in your home and on the go. Filtering your water can be simple and fairly inexpensive to insure that your water is the safest it can be, cut your costs by no longer having to purchase bottled water and helping to save the environment.

There are very few government officials out there calling for people to destroy the environment.  Some of them are even quite vocal that we need to work to save it in any way possible.  But the government - as an entity - does not need to push any green tech

on the populous.

The only way for the technology to take off is for the industry to push its development.  The only way the industry will push the development is when a need arises.  Right now, there isn’t much need for cheaper fuel.  Even with gas prices running over $3 per gallon, people just kept fueling up the cars.  The initial scare did cause a flood of used SUV’s to hit the market, but the automobile industry responded in kind with more fuel efficient SUV’s.

There has been some talk lately that the government should support financial the green industry.  It was even a subject in a recent republican presidential debate.  Subsidizing anything is a bad idea.  It causes innovation to stagnate.  Necessity is the mother of invention, not government support.  Hopefully, the green technologies will find their own footing and take off.  Until that happens, the government shouldn’t get involved.
