Early this morning while I'm heading to the office, I saw 2 building maintenance who's scheduled to clean the patio of the building. They used a hose and an air compressor in spraying the water so that there will be a force in removing the dirt. While doing that i noticed that they are also using "freshwater" from the faucet. It It makes me feel upset, knowing that a lot of people around the world crave for freshwater to drink and use in their daily lives. Those who live in upland in Philippines and those in the horn of Africa. One time I watched a documentary about this where one family dig a deep deep well just to get some water, they used it for drinking and cooking though they know it's not potable and not that healthy, but they have no choice. I feel the guilt why this people don't care about what they are loosing. Maybe because they are not the one paying it..What do you think??

Dear Friend,
Fresh water is very essescial for cleaning along with an air compressure it becomes an effective measure for cleanind. Its for our own safety. I do understand your feelings about saving water. I stay in Mumbai, here we have to buy fresh water at a price & at a given particular time but there is no choice. Even I feel the same when I see water is wasted unnecessarly. I am thinking to build my own public org. Ltd. to take action & save water...

Who in the world in the right frame of mind would use fresh water for cleaning? That's just brainless, and a waste of useful resource. Didn't their supervisor teach them about what to use and what can be used? U should lodge a complaint to that company because it's not right. It takes money and time to process water into fresh water and it's meant to be drank.
