#safe water

I know water crises are global these days, but the coal miners in west Virginia are getting chemical burns from their water.

And before all the "anti-fossil fuel" people come at me- coal miners are not your enemy. All the creatures that depend on this water are dying. The government is claiming it's safe because they're only testing for bacteria- it's too toxic for most of the bacteria that they test for to survive. You can't boil the smell of paint thinner out of water.

This isn't just a human rights and welfare issues, it's also an extreme environment crisis. These are impoverished, exploited people desperate for help.

Explanation of the GoFundMe is under the cut

This fundraiser is raising money to purchase safe drinking water for people in Wyoming and McDowell Counties in West Virginia's coal camps. All proceeds will go directly to Sweet Springs Institute, Inc, a West Virginia local 501(c)3, and 100% of funds raised will be used to purchase water for local residents.

Currently, thousands of people in these two counties, the poorest counties in the United States, are without access to safe water. Their water comes out in shades of gray, black, and brown, smells like paint thinner, and causes immediate rashes and lesions on the skin. It is not safe to be consumed or even touched.

Independent tests show lead, arsenic, and aluminum levels hundreds of parts per million over the legal safe limits. Local residents have had stream water tested to reveal the water has surfactants in it-- an industrial chemical used to separate coal from impurities.

Residents are collecting water from roadside streams because they cannot afford to purchase water from grocery stores.

The coal and natural gas industries have created horrifying living conditions for West Virginians who have suffered exploitation and poverty to power the country and keep the lights on for over 150 years.

If we end up raising more money than is necessary for the local demand for water, or if state or federal emergency efforts finally respond by providing water, then we will use remaining funds to provide other emergency response provisions to locals that may include food, clothing, water filtration, or independent testing of soil and water safety.

In the conservative mindset, money spent on the public in general is wasted. If the peons want safe water, they should buy commercially filtered and bottled, like Kobach does. And if they can't afford it, then they don't deserve it - the brain damage caused by lead poisoning will make them more suited to the menial tasks they are meant to do.

“Go drink a glass of water and stay hydrated”

As someone with serious cardiac conditions that requires me to drink tons of hydrating fluids, as someone with serious gastrointestinal conditions and extremely limiting dietary restrictions, as someone who has lifelong trauma from being neglected and abused, as someone who has lifelong trauma from being too poor to afford food, as someone who’s been unhoused over half my life with no way to know when I could drink safe water again or have a meal again, as someone who’s recovering from restrictive eating disorders, as someone who just wants to eat cake and ice cream and chicken nuggets and toast and have a real meal, as someone who’s tired of hearing people tell me to calm down and practice self care by drinking a glass of water as if I could do that just that simply, as someone who has some staple foods but is too weak to cook them, as someone without access to safe drinkable water, as someone who’s extremely poor with no income, as someone who’s currently 75¢ away from being able to get a loaf of bread off of food stamps:

If you have access to clean and safe drinking water, go have a glass and be thankful for it. It’s a privilege.

We can save water in infinite ways, but in my case my way of saving water is to take advantage of water use times.

When I go to take a bath, I don't use too much or too little, I use what is necessary. Likewise, when I go to wash the dishes, while I put soap on the dishes, the faucet remains turned off. Another way I was able to save water was when I washed my dad's car, likewise, when I soap the car, the hose remains turned off.

These small changes make a difference, let's give back to the world. 🌍

How did I safe water yesterday?

Yesterday, I woke up and the first thing I did was go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and while that kept the water closed, then for breakfast, when it was time to wash dishes, I did it with the water I had saved and until the night I I took a bath and it was a short 5 minute bath.

CLEAN WATER AS A CATALYST FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Oftentimes we say "water is life", this is because it serves as fuel to human existence. However, water can be clean or dirty; for this article, we throw more light on the impact of clean water on health and agriculture. #cleanwater #health #SDG6

Water is essential for life, as humans we consume water every day because, without it, we cannot maintain a normal physiological state which can eventually result in death. Aside from humans, plants and animals also need water for their survival. It is very important to know that not all water is equally beneficial for our health.
