Quality Water Means Quality Life

1.2 billion people do not have access to clean water.
Help others avoid the choice between thirst or disease.

As we passed through the Ozark Mountains, among Missouri scenic rivers, we came to a gorgeous little spot called "Two Rivers." At this convergence of the Jacks Fork and Current rivers, the silt heavy rapids of the Current meet the clear calm of the Jacks Fork river and one can actually see the divide between the two. I couldn't help but think of the divide between our access to clean water and the lack thereof in the villages of rural Ghana.

Troy and I consume on average, about 12 to 20 (20 oz) bottles of water daily. That's 12 to 20 times per day that, unlike the people in rural Ghana, Troy and I avoid illness without even realizing it. Regardless of how many miles we ride, we have no doubt that stopping anywhere along the road for water will be easy and risk-free.

Insight into the Politics of Food




Occasionally, when we're famished and need food fast, Troy and I will eat out instead of getting out our camp stove and making a meal. (Usually for dinner since breakfast is easy - soy milk and cereal).

We once ordered Dominos pizza (their thin crust is vegan!) and used the computer to order online so we could stroll into town and pick it up. When we asked for no cheese on our pizza, this little window popped up. It is really eye opening to realize that there's a whole world of agendas that dictate our food choices of which most people are completely unaware. EDUVOLVE YOURSELF!!
