Donate to Gulf Oil Spill cleanup view entire article and live links at: http://members.greenpeace.org/blog/greenpeaceusa_blog/2010/05/12/volunteer_info_for_gulf_oil_spill While BP has pledged to pay all legitimate claims made in relation to the oil spill, the groups working in the area need immediate support. Here's a list of some of the groups working on the oil spill that get three- and four-star ratings from charitynavigator.com. * National Audubon Society, is working to aid birds and habitat affected by the spill. * National Wildlife Federation, is responding to the spill. * Greater New Orleans Foundation, is assisting locally. * Matter of Trust is accepting donations of hair, fur and nylons, which are used to aid in the oil response

I want to be with a group of friends talking about the times in our lives when water was a powerful experience. We will toast these experiences as each is shared and then post them to this site or on twitter.

Welcome to the "World Water Rescue Foundation" -> WWRF is a 10 year old nonprofit foundation dedicated to protecting and preserving the world's water resources and ensuring the fundamental right of access to safe drinking "Water for All People". Website -> www.wwrf.org

Enjoy and value the clean, safe, reliable water that is delivered to most homes and businesses in the developed world every day. Value the clean, healthy environment that results from investment in water and sanitation infrastructure. Stop complaining about water and sanitation rates and charges that are necessary to pay for it being done well, with social, economic and environmental sustainability. Support free trade and globalization to enrich the developing world, so that incrementally, they will have access to clean, safe, reliable water and sanitation also. <http://privatewaterlaw.com>

Considering the extreme low water levels being experienced in Ontario this year we should be listening to a wake-up call on how we treat and use this valuable resource. We should be looking at monitoring the volume of water used by large industries and organizations and consider strategies for increasing the amount of water which can be recycled in their processes. Individuals need to learn to turn off the tap sooner for personal use and lawn care.

Many people like me are very concerned about the oil spill in the gulf of Mexico. nobody wanted to know the ocean as a big murky wasteland made up of oil. the oil is destroying ecosystems and affecting aqua life in negative ways. to stop this we must take the pipes of oil out of the ground and mother earth will deal with the rest. the only reason why this hasn't been done is because the company responsible for this mess doesn't want to lose a large amount of money and to them oil is very valuable due to the money they have made from selling oil. the earth is like the human body. imagine the pipe as a needle in our vien taking our blood just like the pipe is taking the oil from the ground. if we take out the needle, the blood will stop leaking in, so the same will happen if we do this with the pipe. We need this to stop.

Doing what I can for the Gulf water. Working on getting a National program and policy to protect our waters,lakes and streams. Mindfully using water and not wasting it. Celebrating the water in me because I am made up of alot of water. The wonderful water element in me. Walking by the lake.

I have a garden in which I grow food for my use, which I also share with others when it produces more than I need. As my way of reducing the amount of watering I need to do, I plan to mulch all of my garden. Over the years, I've found this makes a healthier, cleaner, more bug-free and weed-free, and much more productive garden, all without adding chemical run-off to the water which flows through and under the land I live on. I lived for several years without indoor plumbing. When I first moved back into a house which had a flush toilet, it seemed not only a huge waste of water to use it so, but the most egregious sacrilege to a precious, life-giving resource. As a result of learning to be so conscious of every drop of water I used during those years, I still try to conserve and protect this resource which belongs to all Earthlings, human and non-human equally. Thank you for this opportunity to share and encourage. Blessings

Recruit 5 friends to supporting the placment of watercleansing oysters in estuaries around the state. Each oyster can filter 30 gallons of water per day. They fix nitrogen and carbon dioxide in their shells reducing algal blooms and helping to offset ocean acidification. Oyster reefs can shelter up to 100 other species of fish, plants and crustaceans.

Lack of access to clean Water and sanitation is a major cause of killer disease in many developing countries. However, proper water education can help to reduce the problem. During the water hour, water education and information booklet on water monitoring will be distributed and shear via the various social network.
