We Must Clean Water Everywhere

The inception of U.S. Environmental policy most notably began under the Presidency of Richard Nixon; Nixon oversaw the passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the creation of the Environmental Policy Act (EPA). The Clean Water Act of 1972, in particular, enacted stringent laws to prevent pollutants from entering navigable waters, outlawing open sewers from dumping crud into a local stream and the law also protects land that filters and purifies water as it flows by. The Landmark law passed in 1972, however, has not impeded the pending water crisis facing the U.S. today. The United States must take immediate measures in order to combat the problem; given that the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence now ranks water scarcity as a major threat to national security; right next to Terrorism (Sullivan). The United States should reform the Clean Water Act of 1972 to look for any deficiencies in the law.

Water. Well what is this common liquid that is compulsory and necessary for everyone to drink? Water is a transparent, thin liquid that has nutrients in it and has to be consumed. This transparent liquid can be used for multiple uses and it can never run out . Do u have to drink it ? Water is compulsory as our brains is 70% water and our body 60% water so we cannot function without it. The transparent liquid helps us be hydrated and balances your body fluids. So as you can see this liquid pretty important. In some countries, people are lucky as they can access water within seconds with a tap, but unfortunately in other countries it is harder to access clean,fresh water. Throughout this report I will be showing the differences between two

Recycling is one of the most common ways to keep America clean. The recycling bins are one of the most recognizable logos across the world. People all across the U.S. have recycling bins, inside of their household. The sad thing is most people do not use them, they most of the time just throw stuff in the regular trash that could be recycled. For example, plastic, paper, cans, glass, cardboard, and even computer hardware (www.recycleacrossamerica.org). People don’t realize that they could be doing the world a big favor, just by recycling these everyday items.

any countries in the world are short of precious water. Given that water is so essential to everyday activities, such as cooking,washing, and growing crops, without the quality of water can affect our nation, even causing economic or social instability. The cdc estimates 780 million people around the world,more than 1 in 10, do not have access to an improved water source one that is protected from outside contaminants.

Growing up as a middle class American, I never fully understood the significance of having clean water to drink, access to healthcare, and education. Many undeveloped countries do not have the resources to provide a regulated standard of living. In countries like Guatemala, up to 75 percent of the population live below the poverty line. Most of these residents live in rural, mountainous areas.

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.

In this unit the author speaks about time for a management reset, meaning that since there are so many changes occurring in the business world such as in our economy that it is essential that companies start changing their management strategies. Company managers tend to be more effectively reset their management by restructuring their goals, thus prioritizing environmental and social issues. Furthermore, there are two management resets that occurred in the past, one was the Command and Control Organizations (CCOs), which came about because of mass production due to high consumer demand. The other management reset was the High Involvement Organizations (HIOs) in which began when the work became more difficult and higher educational levels were necessary. The author further states that because of the various environment, social, and business changes that CCOs and HIOs are now obsolete in our current business world; and that the two main reasons are due to the rapid pace of globalization and the rising rate of environmental degradation. Furthermore, the author continues by mentioning that in order to have sustainable management there must be flexibility for change while having environmental awareness, supporting all the employees involved, and making a consistent profit. In order for the effectiveness of an organization it would depend on four methods, which are the how the value is created, how work is organized, how people are treated,

The inequality when it comes to water scarcity is unacceptable and it does not meet the criteria for Reasonable Access to Clean water for multiple reasons. It is believed that 780million people lack access to clean water and another 2.5 Billion people lack access to improved sanitation (so they only have enough to drink and nothing else). Reasonable access to clean water should mean that water is offered at the lowest possible price so that more people can afford it but it is often in the poorest countries that the water they need is more expensive and harder to access and it is often due to avoidable causes.

Growing up only a couple hours from the coast gave me the advantage of quick trips to the beach. I cherish the memories of the beautiful drive and the excitement of finally arriving to the ocean. As I got older, I began to notice more than just warm sand, fun shops, and yummy food- I noticed what has been going wrong. Over the years, I have realized how much garbage washes up on the shores, that tourists leave enormous messes, and most importantly- the beaches are showing the effects. I hear more often about sea life washing to shore, contaminated shellfish, and mass amounts of coral and other sea life sick or dying altogether. At first glance, I think it is just the effects of a changing world, but truly it is the cause of overuse and contamination of water. Everything we do has some

Zola opened her exhausted eyes and woke Lulu, her sister. The two grabbed large tin buckets and tiptoed out of their tiny living space, to avoid waking their family. They crouched under the tiny door, their eyes blinded by the rising sun from the outdoors. They looked at each other with wide eyes, preparing themselves for the hours of walking they would be doing today. This is the daily life of an individual child in places such as Sub Saharan Africa, like Zola and Lulu, with no access to safe water. Safe water is water that is safe to consume, because it contains no harmful bacteria or contaminants.The access to safe water is a growing issue among people around the world, including several millions of people in areas such as Sub Saharan Africa,

consume water in a modest way. We hear of campaigns in social media to save water

I believe in clean water. The Industrial Revolution spurred huge advances in manufacturing along with rapid gains in productivity. However, lack of foresight and a dearth of available research into the long-term effects of many chemical processes on the water supply caused large-scale contamination of many of the water sources human settlements were reliant upon. Not only that, but the impact on wildlife in all areas of the world could not be assessed until many species’ populations were damaged beyond repair or wiped out entirely.

Thesis statement: Fresh and clean water is vital to the very existence of the human race.

One of the most important natural resources we have on this planet is water. Water covers roughly 70 percent of our planet and is the very foundation for every single species on earth. We as humans, rely on water more than any other resource on the planet and we simply can’t live without it. Although water is abundant around the world, clean water for millions of people is inaccessible. Around the world, there are people struggling to get water yet along clean water and it greatly affects our health. Improving clean water supply and sanitation, and better access to clean water resources, can increase countries’ economic development and can contribute greatly to poverty reduction and overall people’s health.

Few resources are essential to human survival. Access to clean water is the most critical of all. Water is a vital resource responsible for sustaining all life on earth. However, clean water is in short supply, but in high demand in all parts of the world. It is thought that most Americans have access to safe, affordable, clean water right from their taps. However, the media is uncovering the true nature of America’s deteriorating water situation. Americans have reason to be seriously concerned about the state of their drinking water. So what really is on tap in America?
