Well I am finally posting something again. I'm sure people are riveted by this blog with the frequency of it's posting. Anyway, I found some cool websites where you can play a free game and they will donate free, clean water for every question you get right. Now clean water may not seem like a big deal, but in 2006 it was said that 1.8 million people die because of contaminated water per year and that 1.1 billion people lacked clean drinking water. We have been in a drought where I live for a couple years and we have to be tight with water, but there is still nothing stopping me from waltzing over to a sink, turning it on, and having clean and cool water. It is something we take for granted, but about 20% of the population does not even have clean water (and I am sure the percent is much larger when it comes to running water). So, take a few minutes, play a game, and help some people get free water!

Have a great day folks!
