Nov 13, 2009 - I always worry when I donate to charities like this. If you do this, give these people a well, is it going to lead to an increase in their population? The reason there is trouble is that there are too many people living in an area which can't support them. So what then? We have two villages instead of one, and again we have trouble. So we give them another well? How about they control their population instead. I have seen what the population growth in Africa is like.

Jul 30, 2009 - on my last 3 month indoor grow cycle, i used less then 700 liters of water to grow 6 cannabis plants (3 sativas & 3 indicas). these 6 plants have lasted me just about 6 months which comes out to less then 4 liters a day. we are in a time of water shortage, which "vice" or "choice" is better for the planet??? END THE PROHIBITION ON CANNABIS & HEMP and help SAVE our WATER SUPPLY MORE WATER FOR THE WORLD AND LESS WINEOS WOULDN'T BE SO BAD

Mar 27, 2009 - How easy it is for the rest of us to take our water for granted - all we have to do is turn on a tap and yet we still find a way to complain .... Denise dw.edbd

Mar 27, 2009 - If you were really a "Thought Criminal" you would realize that the U.N. has little control over actual policy, you would realize that Africa has been destroyed due to Corporate Colonialism spawned by Colonial Divide and Conquer Techniques from the 1800s, and that the "Zionists" have about as much to do with world situations as any other ethnic group. Do yourself a favor and read more Orwell than just 1984. Try Road to Wigan's Pier or Coming up for Air. Orwell will set you straight.

Mar 27, 2009 - You're wrong. Fresh water is deposited in either the surface or ground through atmospheric transport powered by the sun. Once water returns to the sea, it immediately becomes saline and the Laws of Thermodynamics require a given amount of work to reduce the Entropy of the saline to create pure water vapour which eventually becomes rain. But this is limited by the Earth's natural freshwater making process. So while you can't waste water, you can definitely waste freshwater. Basic physics here.

Mar 26, 2009 - Mantharious........you are very ignorant! "If they had common sense"....hell they can't get a good education to gain some common sense. I am pretty sure that someone taught you OR you Read the information about starting a fire and boiling the water! How can they gain knowledge with NO access to books??? you are as dumb as these celebrities that go to Africa for 2 weeks donate a few dollars, take photo-ops and leave never to return and check on their investment.

Mar 26, 2009 - To the idiot that said our water in the USA is killing us... I guess that is why our life expectancy in the USA went from 59 yrs. in 1900 to 75 yrs. today. Some people can be fooled ALL of the time.

Mar 25, 2009 - I feel so bad now knowing that we use water to shower it on our lawns and wash ourselves while africa treats it as a precious resource and doesn't not even have enough of it.

Mar 25, 2009 - 20 dollers is a lifeline to someone in africa. So if you give a little money (20 dollers not that much) you could eazily save someones life by just takeing a little money and giveing it to someone in a forgin country.

Mar 25, 2009 - no boiling water doesnt remov all of the things in water most of africa gets only 20 in. of water per year so collecting water wouldn't do crap because the water would go bad in less than a week to build aquaducts and other stuff you need building wood stone or other building supplys
