Water
Including more toilet talk.
If only 1% of the water on earth is drinkable, then that 1% is precious. Part of that 1% is being used for other purposes. Too much of that precious, and costly, 1% is being flushed down the toilet. There are good arguments being presented for beginning to use more of the available ecological sanitation technology to preserve that precious 1% for its highest usage, to keep humanity hydrated.
Many people in China are using toilets which separate urine from feces. The urine is evaporated and the remaining solids processed and used as fine fertilizer. This is done without using any of the precious 1%.
Many people in Germany are separating grey water from black water. The grey water is treated and used for flushing and cleaning. Drinking water is preserved for drinking.
There is truly a lot of interesting information on line. You might start your on-line search with "ecological sanitation."
Here are some sites you might find interesting and useful:
www.riles.org
www.undp.org
www.ecosan.org
ecowaters.org
Ecological sanitation can be described as including systems that:
~ prevent disease and promote health
~ protect the environment and conserve water
~ recover and recycle nutrients and organic matter
Someday you might give someone shit and they will thank you. The idea is the conservation of, and the safe reuse of, our resources. A guy could make a buck by helping in this activity.

Ecological Sanitation
If only 1% of global water is drinkable, than that 1% is a precious resource. Part of that precious 1% is being used for purposes other than drinking; its being flushed down toilets. A water of lesser quality could be used for such a purpose. There are good arguments being presented for using more of the available ecological sanitation technology to process water of less than drinkable quality for purposes other than drinking.
People in China are using toilets which separate urine from feces. The urine is evaporated and the remaining solids are used as a fine fertilizer.
People in Germany are separating grey-water from black water. The grey-water is treated and used for flushing and cleaning water.
There is some interesting information on-line. You might start your search with "ecological sanitation." Here are sites I thought interesting:
www.riles.org
www.undp.org
ecowaters.org
This last one seems especially good.
Ecological sanitation can be defined as a system that:
~ prevents disease and promotes health,
~ protects the environment and conserves water,
~ recovers and recycles nutrients and organic mater.
Some day you may 'give someone shit' and they will thank you.
The idea is the conversation of resources and the safe reuse of resources. Still, a guy could make a buck.
All this toilet talk reminds me of the discussion about change in direction of the swirl north of the equator and south of the equator. Those who talk as though they know something may speak of the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect my be interesting, but seems to not be germane. Rim jets are germane. The direction that the bowls rim jets are pointed is the determining factor for swirl direction.
Wish someone would explain how the Coriolis force of the earth's rotation might be expected to effect swirl.

Hopewell System
Most tribal peoples of Canada and the United States don't speak of the Hopewell System, but from Chippewa and Ojibwa of the north to the Choctaw and Chickasaw of the south a feeling comes up. Its a feeling like, perhaps a stream of arterial blood or a stream of energy connecting them. There are Ojibwa who speak a language that can speak of that flow of wise energy. Its a language which caries more knowledge than many realize. Navajo, Cree, and Inuit speak powerful languages and they know the waters too. The Ojibwa have long known the water ways.
When a language dies much dies with it, but not all. There are other symbols and memories. When I was young perhaps 300,000 could speak the language known to the Ojibwa, now there are not that many. There are still those who can speak more than one sentence and those who can remember a whole chant without an error. The language has guardians and supporters.
These days the gene-pool of the Cherokee may be larger and spread more widely than the Ojibwa line. Who can tell the blood?
In a dream I have been told that we have a few drops of the blood of the sea-going Miigis, but that we ate the wrong turtle. I don't know what the dream means, suspect that it may speak of a lost power that is not completely lost.
My home is far from the great rivers and far from the Great Lakes, but I have heard of an island that has more than a hundred lakes on it! Many of those lakes have islands on them! I reminds me of something I saw on the paper on a can of milk. This same island may be largest island on fresh water. On that island, I hear, are those who ave some memory of thriving connections among many Indian people going back and back and far. They eat Haw berries and remember things. Some teach. They remember the old word for copper.
Some of the people who come to that island, I hear, know strange names like Anishiwaabe, Sheguiada, Shehewaning, and Miigis too. I may have been drunk in LA when someone told me.
If you know more please tell. If I have spoken a lie please tell me. I try to give my best understanding.

Joshua Tree Water
The water supply for Joshua Tree looks pretty good. Still the fluoride content is getting close to the point that government regs say is too high.
