| "Without warning, it bursts from above. The fiery flash of magnetic pulse lashes our planet's protective atmosphere like a ray gun from the gods, leaving a wake of devastation in its path. The National power grid burned out, air travel was crippled, personal computers, cell phones, online banking, ATMs, and millions of other devices were reduced to useless hunks of metal and plastic. The attack was over in seconds but the aftermath lasted not only days and weeks but months. It came from above!" | |||
| No, this isn't a trailer for an upcoming science fiction movie or novel, it is very possible what history will reveal after a massive Solar Flare or Meteor slams into Earth - a scenario which NASA scientists have been warning about for over a 3 years. This Solar Storm has been dubbed a "once-in-a-generation” event, an apex moment when the Sun will reach maximum heat and capacity (10,000 F or 5500C)...and NASA says we will see an increase in solar storms during 2013. Solar activity is reaching it's maximum and it could reak havoc on our daily lives. | |||
Today, February 21, 2013, "...a colossal sunspot on the surface of the sun is large enough to swallow six Earths whole, and could trigger solar flares this week, NASA scientists say. The giant sunspot was captured on camera by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory as it swelled to enormous proportions over the 48 hours spanning Tuesday and Wednesday (Feb. 19 and 20). SDO is one of several spacecraft that constantly monitor the sun's space weather environment."

| New sunspot AR1678 has developed a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 45% chance of M-flares and a 15% chance of X-flaresduring the next 24 hours. | |||
| Space weather is in the spotlight and people are demanding answers. In light of last week's meteor and asteroid, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) today sent NASA Administrator Bolden a fact-finding letter to work with NASA to assess the nation's preparedness for future cosmic incidences. Additionally, members of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology called for more hearings on space science and exploration to push for further investment. This is a step in the right direction, but is it enough? | |||
| What does this mean? It is time for us to wake up and prepare. This isn't a politically driven debate about global warming or polar bears, this is data driven information provided based on earth's geological history. Why then, if it has happened before, are we not more prepared? The Internet, cell phones, credit, banking, shipping, anything (and potentially everything) that has a computer has the potential of failing. When the grid goes down, the tap turns off. No power, no water. It's time to find alternate ways of sustaining you and your family. EcoloBlue water, solar and wind generators offer solutions: your own water creation system. Don't let a lack of preparation make you a victim. Declare your resource independence (water and energy) today. Learn more at EcoloBlue.com | |||

| 12-5-2012 | This Earth Day: Commit to Reducing your Water Footprint |
||

|||
| We’ve all heard of carbon footprints, but what about water footprints? How big is yours? Conservationists are suggesting it is valuable to consider. If you reduce your water footprint, less water and less fossil fuels will be consumed each day and depleted fresh water supplies will be positively impacted. | |||
| A water footprint is basically how much water each of us uses every day. This encompasses all of the water required to produce the food, goods and services used by any one of us, or a nation at large, for that matter. | |||
| Thirty-six U.S. states expect water shortages by 2013 | |||
| A great deal of interest in tracking water footprints comes as a result of the shrinking fresh water supplies in the U.S. The U.S. General Accounting Office revealed that a minimum of 36 U.S. states expect water shortages by 2013 – and that doesn’t factor in drought. The Wall Street Journal reported on water footprints early in 2009 explaining that, “The drive [to reduce water foot prints] comes as groundwater reserves are being depleted and polluted at unsustainable rates in many regions.” | |||
| It would appear to be in all of our best interests to do whatever we can to reduce both our individual and national water footprints. But how? | |||
| Each bottle of water requires 10 x that amount of water to create it | |||
| One quick fix comes to mind: stop using bottled water. Twenty-four gallons of water are required to manufacture a single pound of plastic. That means when you drink bottled water, you are literally consuming up to ten times as much water as you actually drink. Since our fresh water supplies are dwindling, we can’t afford this kind of wastefulness. | |||
| Reagan Waskom, professor in civil engineering and crop and soil science and Director of the Colorado Water Institute, encourages, "I'd like people to understand the footprint that their choices place upon our environment - choices about consumption, energy, waste disposal, recycling and water use. I believe that if people understand the impact of their individual actions and if they are given viable alternatives, many will choose to make wiser choices." | |||
| What would wiser choices be other than eliminating bottled water? Imagine being able to turn off the tap! Even tap water is costly when you factor in the cost of purification and repairing antiquated infrastructures. Tap water is also of questionable purity. A vast array of pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation reveals. And, of course, tap water is dependent upon our shrinking fresh water resources. | |||
| Atmospheric Water Generators offer a real solution | |||
| What to do? Where to turn? Actually there is a little known a solution that eliminates worry about the questionable purity and safety of tap water and bottled water usage as well while providing pure water made from the air itself. This answer puts water independence squarely in the hands of the consumer without making any significant footprint – be it water, or be it carbon. | |||
| The answer is an atmospheric water generator (AWG). The concept can be gleaned from the name – the machine actually snatches moisture out of the atmosphere and then filters, purifies and delivers delicious drinking water each and every day. | |||
| Henri-James Tieleman is CEO of EcoloBlue™, a company dedicated to offering water independence to consumers and industrial users alike with its line of state-of-the-art atmospheric water generators. “These machines are remarkable. They deliver 99.9% pure drinking water day in and day out without ever using a single plastic bottle or turning on your tap,” he reports. “The advance this represents is quantum and the positive impact on the environment has the potential for being profound.” | |||
| Plastic bottle pollution spawned a business - EcoloBlue | |||
| It was Tieleman’s business partner, co-president and co-founder of EcoloBlue™, Wayne Ferreira, former #6 ranked pro tennis player, who first noticed the waste represented by plastic bottles being tossed aside at tennis tournaments. He wanted to do something about it. | |||
| In 2004, Ferriera was first introduced to the concept of an atmospheric water generator and it gave him the answer he was looking for. He conferred with Tieleman about his idea of creating a line of state-of-the-art AWGs. The rest is indeed history. | |||
| Save money, save the environment - drink 99.9% pure water | |||
| “Now there is a solution where people can have access to the best quality of water available while saving money and the environment at the same time,” Ferreira points out. “EcoloBlue™’s atmospheric water generators have an almost non-existent water footprint. That bodes well for planet earth, the United States and each family that wants to be assured of a continuous supply of pure drinking water.” | |||

| April 22, 2012 is Earth Day. A day focused on the importance of conserving and protecting our home. As many struggle to keep and maintain a home, it is easy to lose sight of our bigger home, Earth. In a time where it feels as if a disaster occurs almost daily, it is difficult to keep up with all of the needs of the world, let alone our normal daily tasks. Perhaps we tune out news such as: rain forest depletion, animal extinction and the changes in weather patterns. We sometimes forget how global housekeeping significantly impacts each one of us. One day, with the depletion of water sources, we may walk to the fountain and find that tap has run dry leaving our children and generations to come without this precious resource. | |||
