Fragile Ecosystem
Filtered Water For Everyone
Our fragile ecosystem isn’t a closed loop, and so the poisons we put into the earth and the air end up in our water supply. Even further, many municipalities add chemicals to the water to make it safe to drink; however, this in turn can contribute to diseases such as osteoporosis or cancer because calcium is leeched out while carcinogens are added in. When we speak of filtered water and water filtration in general, we are talking about a method of purifying water using chemicals or specially designed equipment to make it safe for human consumption. Filtering water so it is safe to drink should ensure that the final product is free of any microorganisms that may cause illness.
The use of water filtration systems prevents toxic substances such as cysts, bacteria and chlorine from entering the body or reproducing inside the body; thus reducing the risk of becoming ill from contaminants. The microorganisms and other pathogens that cause waterborne infections are kept to a minimum.
Some home filters have solid yet permeable blocks that are made from carbon. The carbon element selectively clears some of the toxic substances like bacteria that are found in drinking water. The carbon block keeps the natural pH of water and does not filter useful minerals that are required in healthy water. Water filters have even been medically certified in reducing the chances of cancers of the colon, bladder and rectum. This is because the byproduct of chlorine that is commonly used to treat water is a known carcinogen.
A popular home style of filter is the model that attaches to the faucet. It is affixed to the faucets of the home and filters all water as it is dispensed. This is an extremely handy model and helps ensure that the water you drink and cook with is filtered. However, the kitchen isn’t the only place where you will want pure water in your home. Filtered water systems are available for the bathroom, and anywhere brushing your teeth or using the shower could expose you to unfiltered and contaminated water.
Although water seems like one of the earth’s unlimited resources since there is so much of it, of all the water on the earth, there is only a limited amount that is actually drinkable and that amount is quickly becoming contaminated as humans continue to poison it. Though the earth’s water supply seems to be replenished with every rainfall, and the oceans are deep and vast, conservation and proper water filtration systems are vital in keeping our available water healthy. A home filtered water system is an investment that can help prolong your health and actually return cleaner water to the environment.

An Overview Of National Parks Books
If you have always wanted to visit some of the great national parks and historical monuments that can be found throughout North America, but have not had the time, here are a few national parks books that you should enjoy. The colorful photographs of beautiful scenery will help you step into locations and regions far away, and leafing through a national parks book can be a fantastic method of teaching children about nature.
National Parks of America published by the Graphic Arts Center of Publishing Company featuring the brilliant photographs of acclaimed photographer, David Muench, and co-authors Stewart and James Uddell should be on everyone’s coffee table. Muench captures scenes of personal and primal importance in this collage of America’s most famous national parks and monuments. From the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina to the Old Faithful Geyser of Yellowstone, Muench’s photos coupled with Uddell’s insightful essays will take you away on a scenic adventure across the United States so absorbing that you could swear you can smell the fresh air in the comfort of your home.
Passionate Vision: Discovering Canada’s National Parks is Canada’s answer to Muench’s national parks book. Showcasing the photography skills of space shuttle Discovery astronaut, Roberta Lynn Bondar, this book is homage to Canadian national parks and the fragile ecosystem we all live in. Bondar uses photos from space interspersed with pictures of unique scenery such as bison roaming the salt planes of Alberta, and panoramas of great ice monoliths of the north. The foreword was written by former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, who first set the groundwork of the Canadian national parks system called Parks Canada.
If you want to see some incredible photographs of national parks and monuments from throughout the United States, check out Ansel Adams: Our National Parks. This popular book is filled with some of Adams’ most memorable images. It also includes Adams’ personal thoughts regarding these amazing landmarks. His thoughts are held in high regard by many of today’s environmentalists. Whether you are interested in nature, history, or photography, this book is for you.
The Great National Parks of the World by Angela Ilidos and Giorgio Bardelli is a look at fifty-two exceptionally beautiful national parks around the world from the first-ever national park, Yellowstone, to the expansive reserves of Africa. This global journey reminds us that our future is dependent upon humanity preserving the environment of the world’s most pristine areas. It is sobering and magnificent at the same time. There is more to the world than just what is outside our front door.
If you are interested in these national parks books, you can find them from a variety of sellers. The only one that is not for sale is Ansel Adams’, which is located at some libraries. So, regardless of your inability to actually get out and see these natural wonders and monuments, you can learn a lot about them from these books. Keep in mind, though, that each book claims an inability to match the original!
