Water, could there possibly be a replacement

I see this is a good year in that regard (at least locally, and if McCain isnt elected). One of our local candidates for governor is growing more and more popular and he is all about wind power (which I think Bluewater did sign with our state), implementing environmental measures that are very practical and my main goal is to up recycling in our state because I was really inspired by my visit to Toronto, Canads. I have been walking around wondering why it is so hard to do these simple things and after visiting Toronto I realized it wasnt and its just a matter of convenience! I really like science fiction but probably watched more on tv than actually read--the X Files was my absolute favorite show. Im reading The Midnighters now by Scott Westerfeld. I really worry about the water though because the smell of chlorine (it smells like bleach to me) when running the bath water is SO STRONG and Im wondering to myself, my god, this cant be healthy. Then theres days Im drinking form the tap (I do use a Brita Filter) but it taste so thick, like you said, muddy. Your right be must become more proactive, me I recycle everything and return all my food scraps to the ivy patches, right now were working on switching my diesel to vegetable oil once we learn how to do it and my boyfriend was not even into that stuff until he saw me constantly doing small things and now he voluntarily recycles without me telling him and he was the one that bought me the diesel car. I know I may be annoying to people but I always remind them if something can be recycled, like at the gym, we have recycling bins everywhere so you can imagine my frustration when going into the bathroom theres five bottles stuffed into the regular trash and putting in their proper place. I try to just keep it to the small things to not get bogged down with despair.

It's great you're doing so much!! Absolutely awesome!! I bug everyone around here to recycle etc too!! lol (Okay, so far in my family, mostly! I did make 'em even was fish tins & recycle!:)) We're still not sure if the recyclables are really recycled here, but I hope they are.. If not, at least 'people response' can be measured as 'positive'...

yea, like the first Slim Fast supplements they ever made, LOL--that was groooosss! There is nothing like water after sweaty under the hot sun and it taste SO good it would be hard to imagine anything better than that.
