Using Homemade Solar Cookers And Solar Energy

Are you ever thirsty for a nice cold glass of clean water? Most privileged people can find decent drinkable water in at least three places in the average kitchen. It’s a gift we commonly undermine. Unfortunately, many adults and young children aren’t granted this privilege. Striving each day to find clean water and still worry if it is safe enough to drink. All around the world some of the deadliest bacteria, diseases, and germs are alive in the water. Underprivileged countries do not have clean running water or even a decent well to draw from; this results in drinking from stagnate rivers, salty oceans, and contaminated puddles. Each year, thousands of people die from the bacteria living in unclean water. Sorrowfully, many of those numbers are young children! When a child becomes sick from bacteria found in their drinking water, an entire daily system becomes thrown out of balance. They cannot attend school or work, and it affects friends and family around them! Moreover, economical issues arise. Humans around the world have their whole lives ahead of them. Everyone should have daily access to clean drinking water to keep them healthy and growing. In this fallen world that’s not always the reality. The cycle that contaminated water brings is almost unstoppable.

Two out of every five people living in Sub-Saharan Africa lack safe water. A baby there is 500 times more likely to die from water-related illness than one from the United States. This is a serious ongoing issue that requires the rest of the world to take action. Water spreads diseases easily if the necessary precautions are not taken. Many developing African countries don’t have sewage treatment, or the people don’t have methods to filter and disinfect. Once a person is sick either there is no way to cure them, or medical care is too expensive, so they are left untreated with a high risk of death. Although many believe that the fight for sanitary water in Africa is insurmountable, people in these developing countries can overcome their challenge to access clean water and avoid water-borne diseases through proper sewage treatment facilities, universal water filtration and medical care.

One of the biggest challenges of polluted third world countries is the lack of suitable drinking water. However, a woman named Theresa Dankovich created a water purification system called The Drinkable Book. The book has 25 pages of silver nanoparticles which releases silver ions that neutralize disease. The pages were tested in five different countries, and reportedly eliminated almost all of the bacteria.

Unclean water is a growing phenomenon that is immensely occurring in Latin America. Water is an important necessity in life. There are over 70 million people who have no access to clean water. Many families in Latin America cannot afford to send their children to school, so the children drop out of school to help work at the home. Many of the children who stay home to work walk for hours to get to the nearest water source, and most of the time, the water is unclean and not safe to drink. The unclean water is the only water accessible to families in Latin America. With the unclean water available, sanitation was not. It is very rare to find any form of sanitized water in most households in Latin America. Over 100 million people are not

Water is a natural renewable resource on earth that not many people have access to. Many people that do have access to water do not have access to clean water. Water purification can be expensive in the United States and many countries cannot afford to use that process. It is important to find new inexpensive ways to purify water to help people in those countries get cleaner water, which in turn improves health.

Americans utilize a great deal of water, in fact, the average American uses 90 gallons a day (Henshaw). So it is not surprising America has one of the cleanest water reserves in the world (“Water Quality”). A surprising statistic, however, is one-third of the American population drinks bottled water on a regular basis when the majority has clean drinking water at home (Olsen). This might be due to the fact that the bottled water industry has promoted itself as a healthier and more portable alternative to tap water. However, the truth is startling as bottled water is only a misleading, expensive, and dangerous gimmick to bring in revenue for large companies.

This memo is a progress report on the feasibility of implementing solar water disinfection in areas without access to clean drinking water. The purpose of this assessment is to provide you with two different perspectives from which to evaluate the proposed technology of solar water decontamination from an ethical perspective. I have found 2 main areas to consider for the ethical impact of our technology: (1) Health benefits gained from drinking clean water and (2) the environmental impact with regards to using plastic water bottles. This memo will present the research that I have found concerning the two aforementioned perspectives. Then I will discuss what further research needs to be done and propose what modifications or

Water is essential for life. Humans are made up of 50 to 75 per cent of water and can only last a few days without it. We use it for agriculture, power plants, and domestic irrigation. In the United States, about 410 billion gallons of water is withdrawn daily, about 85% being freshwater. The most easily accessible source of water is surface water which is from lakes, rivers, and streams. However, only about 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater and the cost of water around the world varies greatly. In the U.S., the biggest problem is in contamination. The EPA defines water contamination as anything physical, chemical, biological, or radioactive that is harmful to human health or degrades taste or color of water. About 5,300 water systems were

Today, "going green" is by all accounts the catchphrase on everybody's lips. Everybody from America's Next Top Model to auto organizations are hooking onto that to demonstrate that they are regarding our surroundings. Cooking with a solar cooker is one all the more way that you also can practice environmental safety! A solar cooker, or solar oven, is a system that utilizations daylight to cook sustenance as opposed to power or gas. Frequently they are utilized to cook outside, and can be a fun expansion to any outdoors trip. Past only being fun, they are perfect on the off chance that you don't have entry to fuel for your cooking.

Water is one of the most important natural resources for the life in our planet, which is why all nations in the world make afford to prevent the contamination for this precious liquid. It is important for agriculture and for many other things. Also it maintains the balance of the flora and wildlife. In recent years, American has been created different machines to drink water, for example, water fount, that can be found in schools and public space. Also, the used of bottled water is very popular because people can go anywhere with that and is very comfortable. Despite the constantly used of bottle water is dangerous because it can develop different diseases, and the excessive used of the plastic material can be hurtful for the environment.

For this experiment, 4 different brands of water that ranged from different prices were tested along with tap water from the city of West Quincy. The 4 different brands of water that were used were, Aquafina, Poland Springs, Fiji, and 7/11 Brand Water. A graduated cylinder, many pH paper/strips, ten [10] Lead Water Testing Kits, ten [10] Sodium test Strips, two [2] Bacteria Test Kits, ten [10] Test Tubes along with 10 Test Tube Stoppers, two [2] test tube racks, multiple paper towels, one [1] roll of tape, one [1] pen/pencil, and one [1] refrigerator were used for the experiment. First, the bottles of water, multiple paper towels, the graduated cylinder, ten [10] test tubes along with five [10] test tube stoppers, one [10] test tube rack,

For the purpose of this paper three experiments were conducted; the objectives of these three experiments were to determine the quality and characterization between drinking water, bottled and tap. These experiments will help determine the effectiveness and ability to remove contaminates from affected water. Questions are presented concerning the quality of bottled water vs tap water, and the monetary worth of purchasing bottled water for human

According to Hannah Ellsbury (2013), “The energy squandered on using bottled water would be sufficient to power a hundred and ninety thousand homes”. In 1621, the idea of bottled water first originated in the United Kingdom. Therefore, global consumption of bottled water reached seventy-four and seven billion gallons in 2014. The largest consumer in the world of bottled water is U.S. comes next Mexico, China, and Brazil. Some individuals argue that drinking bottled water has many risks in different aspects. However, this paper argues that people should not only drink bottled water.

First, water is an important resource for consumers and the environment. Water is needed in the body to maintain health and the body’s mechanism. “People cannot survive without water resources in their everyday lives, which cost, taste, or health factors the cause for choice and how water consumption affects people and the environment” (Mythri, Chandu, Prashant, Subba, 2010, p. 515). The challenge is understanding the risk of drinking water, from either bottled water or tap water, and the adverse effects on the body system. Therefore, the better the quality of water, the less risk of drinking water from a bottle. “The most uncommon knowledge of the consumers is almost half of all bottled water comes from the same place as tap water, yet marketing tools to persuade the consumer will never unveil important information regarding this”(Liberatore, 2011, p. 69). Bottled water and tap water treatment process levels are different in a treatment process. In particular, tap water treated as high priority because of where the water comes from. The difference between the two water sources is tap water is from run offs and recycled water, which is filtered to remove waste, chemicals, and pollutants, then processed again for all living organisms to use again. By the same token, bottled water is captured from the mountain chambers and natural springs and afterward processed differently, yet once it drunk its nothing left to recycle. “Scientifically, the biological stability is to

“Water is the lifeblood of our bodies,our economy,our nation and our well-being” (Johnson). This quote represents the significance H2O holds in not only our everyday lives,but also in our state of health in the long run. Numerous Americans consume water on a daily basis, however since it is such a common occurrence, too few people actually put thought into what they are ingesting. There are many advantages to drinking bottled H2O such as, the difference the convenience of water being bottled has made on Americas water consumption, bottled water is a lifesaver in cases such as a natural disaster and provides less health risks but, bottled water is more expensive which causes people to use it less .Conversely, others think arduously on the subject without proper research. It is time to begin thinking about it and educating others about bottled water. A stupendous way to begin the education process is to do an extensive amount of research to distinguish between facts and myths about bottled water.
