The heritage for our chldren

Foam on the beach, Bergen/Zee, Netherlands

Walking on the beach. Traces of foam in bizarre forms. Few people know that they are traces of environmental pollution. Phosphates from our detergents make algae grow. Too much algae in the water make to much foam. What looks so cute isn't that positive. Green detergents contain fewer phosphates and have better impact on the quality of the water. Think of that when you are shopping!

Oh, yeah, before I forget: many cities pump their dirty water just like that in the environment. Large pipelines spit the dirt deep into the sea. Not only in third world countries. This happens in developed world also. Large industries use water for their production process or to cool their machinery and they too often pump dirty water back into the sea. Paper mills know about that and nuclear power plants and many other industries all over the world. Green industries invest in water cleaning installations. They have understood that they have a responsibility that goes farther then their stockholders interest. They are aware of the heritage for their children. Cleaning industrial polluted water is expensive, so why bother is what many a boss thinks. Mind your children and the world they have o live in. That is what I'd like to say them. Feel responsible for the world your children and grandchildren will live in. Think ahead, not one year, but many years and think about what you got from your parents and what you are going to leave for your children and grandchildren. A better world for them starts today with you and me!

We cannot live without the environment! We cannot live without clean water.

Water is the basis of our lives. Lets be careful with it!

Have a nice day!
