Share & Voice: Eco-Friendly Flooring

   For this weeks Share & Voice, I looked at a website about eco-friendly flooring called "Eco-Friendly Flooring". This website is so cool! They offer all types of flooring including bamboo, recycled glass, and reclaimed & sustainable wood. All of their floorings are sustainable, recycled, and easy to recycle again. Their headquarters are located in Madison, WI.

Advocacy Project: Fact Sheet

Facts on Water Quality in the United States

Presented by Hannah Koepke

Who is affected by water quality?

Everyone. The Clean Water Act promotes this idea of healthy water quality levels in the United States. If this bill had not been enacted, we would be drinking contaminated water, not be able to safely swim in some of our waters, and even have to be careful of the fish we catch in our waters, especially near areas of factory run off.

What is the economics of this issue?

Companies have to pay more to have clean and regulated run-off, but we cannot afford to spend trillions on cleaning up our water sources. Our drinking water is at stake. Most shocking, bottled water does not have to meet the same regulations as public water, and privatized water cleaning companies do not even have to same high quality standards as public city water does.

What can you do?

You can keep up the Clean Water Act and keep our lands water sources clean and usable for generations to come. For more information, please visit the Environmental Protection Agencies informational page at http://www.epa.gov/gateway/learn/water.html.
