  2. Do you offer any predictions on unemployment? Do you think structural unemployment will be resolved? Do you think the President's stimulus for the economy will make a difference.

  4. With increased water born diseases like diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and other medical condition it has become important to use water cleaning systems. At Swiss Cleanwater Group, we restore water in a sustainable manner because we care for people’s health, and the environment that we live in.

  7. Water pollution is a global problem and we should do everything to prevent it from worsening. Disposal of wastes for me is one of the reasons why we have water contamination. Irrigation and farming also is one of the culprit. The use of chemicals should be strictly regulated to prevent further harm in our waters. Let’s use other safe sources of energy and try not to depend so much on fossil fuel. There are inventions that prove that we can tap solar and green energy as resources.
