Solving Sewage waste water pollution


                              

 
Clean, clear, ocean blue


                                                                                                                       Now look people, doesn’t this look quite nice, nice clean, blue, healthy looking water, heck this could even be drinking water. Water safe to swim in as well, nothing more relaxing then going to the lake, or ocean and swimming and relaxing in the nice cool, clean, clear, blue, healthy water.

But sadly there is an issue that America and everywhere around the world is facing. And that is (Sewage waste water pollutions). And what does sewage waste water pollution look like you might ask.


As you can see here this is just a small example of what sewage waste water pollution looks like. Doesn’t look very appealing I know. You see sewage water is tainting the surrounding water areas, everywhere in the world, as you can see in the back ground there are residents by that lake. So it’s obvious that water would be very smart to bath in, play in, drinking from etc.


It’s happening all over the place, people that just try and go to the lake down the road and go for a nice relaxing swim might not even realize that the water is terrible tainted and polluted. Being in contact with that water can result in some serious health issues such as.

 


·         Death, Diarrhea, Fever, pneumonia, physical and mentally impurities


·         Fever headaches, muscle aches, vomiting  

·         Weil's Disease, kidney damage, liver failure, death

·         Skin and Tissue infection


·         Cancer, and stomach ulcers

·         Hearing and visual loss, mental retardation, Newborn syndrome


·         Liver infection, eye infections

 
And so on and so on, those are just some examples of possible illness and infections and disease a human can pick up when coming into the wrong contact of sewage water.


Here is a prime example of our seas becoming to dangerous to even
swim in due to the effects of Sewage waste water pollution
 

   
 But we as people can do something to stop this from growing into and even bigger issue then it already is. But there are many different ways a person can help prevent this pollution not just on your property but throughout the community and United States. Everyone can help and here’s how…  

 
Example in your home

·         Minimize water use when it’s raining. Wait to wash clothes or run the dishwater until the rain stops, it helps the sanitary system. Decrease water use by putting in low-flow toilets and shower heads, and don’t let the water run

·         Throughout household chemicals and other fluids properly- not down the drain or storm drains though. Anything that a person puts down the drain has a strong chance of ending up in the oceans or creeks or local lakes.

·         Don’t put any, fats, oils or grease ideas down the drain

Example on your property

·         Inspect your sewer cleanout. The cleanout usually a small pipe, it’s about 4 inches in diameter, used for entering the lateral line for cleaning.

·         Have your household sewer line inspected and replaced if necessary. Call your local Department of Public Works for more info on how to get someone to inspect your sewer lines regularly

·         Try and avoid planting tree and shrubs near you household sever lines.

·         Consider installing a gray water system to capture and reuse nearly-clean water for your garden.

 

Also joining in and helping you community by fundraising for more repairs to all the sewer lines to prevent leakage of pollution into the streets, oceans, lakes etc.


The Government can spend all the money they want to try and improve this issue, and yes it’s going to cost money to build more pipe lines, and protection of these pipe lines,  but alimentally it comes down to we the people to pitch in and try and prevent pollution in our lives first. Then go to the bigger companies and get them to stop pullulating our water as well.  No matter how much it may cost, the cost of our health and the health of the animals in and out of the sea is much greater.

 

Sewage waste just being carelessly pumped into the water
 

 This right here a prime example of why everyone must help to prevent further pollution. Our water is being tainted with the waste, chemicals, and sediments helped produced by us, the humans. Don’t forget about the fish that swim in the water, we are killing wildlife on land and sea. The fish we eat can possibly be tainted, putting us at risk, and the wildlife on the land eating the fish can be affected as well. So to further more emphasis that the pollution going on in our waters is not just affecting us, but the wild life in the water and outside the water.

I can’t say it’s beginning to improve or getting worse, but is it great to know that the issue at hand is being addressed. So there are people out there that are willing to make a change. Organizations are being from to help with the issues companies are trying to improve their dumping of waste. More sewage treatment plants are being built, so the issue is being handled, and improvement is coming.

American Football in the Olympics?


If you're a sports fan, who frankly enjoys all sports in the world, then there's nothing better then sitting back every four years for 2 weeks to enjoy one of the greatest sporting events of all time. I'm talking about, of course, the great Olympic games. 

The Olympic games are held every four years and is a world wide event for everyone to enjoy, featuring the top athletes that hail from 88 different countries. 2,800 athletes makeup the participants of the games. From the day of the burning of the torch to till the end of the games it's definitely fool of tears, excitement, pain, and great athletic talent, no don't the great sporting event of all time.
 
The world wide symbol
of the Olympic games know as the
Olympic Rings



The next Olympic games will be taking place in Rio of 2016, and the USA looks to reclaim there's dominance in winning gold metals. U.S. athletes took the stage at London coming out with a total of 104 medals (46 in which were gold, 29 sliver and 29 bronze) finishing number one in gold metals over all. The 46 gold medals won broke the U.S. record for the most medals won in Olympic games in the history of medal standings in the USA.
 
But yet the that might not be enough, Maybe there's a way to get another gold medal in a different sport in the Olympics, even though USA basketball has been the number one team for winner gold medals; because basketball is a sport we dominate. And another sport we dominate in is American Football. Yes I said ( American) Football. USA football committee as well as the IFAF ( International Federation of American Football) is trying to propose to the Olympic committee to had American Football as an official Olympic Sport.   

 





Of course there is a whole lot of issues when coming to adding an Olympic sport, there is getting over the Olympic committee which is hard enough, and then seeing if you can get enough countries' to participate. Then one of the biggest issues... The cost of that sport being entered into the games. That's why football being entered into the Olympic is such a long and tough issue. Football has been trying to get into the Olympics for years now and there getting pretty close, the IFAF has enough teams to represent the sport, and they have the uniforms, and the rules down. Each country in the IFAF understands the sport and there are over a dozen teams entered in the international games. And what the IFAF is trying to do is convince that American football is a well organized and competitive sport throughout all nations.








The trouble is the cost of putting this sport into the Olympics, the cost of building stadiums around the world in a different country every four years would be extremely expensive and possible not a good investment. USA would most likely would be the most dominate team in the games, which is why there is even more controversy. People believe that the U.S. would have and un fair advantage because we dominate this sport, and yes we do preform well but the world is becoming to develop some very talented and competitive teams in American football.

 But the main concern is still money and building different stadiums in main different countries and finding the time to put football let alone a whole new sport is a very long and difficult issue. Money is always the main concern, and whether or not the sport can turn a profit on a global sell is beyond me or beyond the Olympic committee. So we will just have to wait and see what happens in 2020.
