Green Talk Radio host Sean Daily speaks with Ryan Hreljac, of Ryan’s Well. At the age of 6, he began his active life of advocacy for water-poor communities in 1998 when he determinedly focused his sights on building a single well for a dry village in Africa. The story touched hearts and launched an avalanche of media reports, films, inspirational book chapters, and speaking requests that resulted in more donations and attention to water issues than he could have imagined. In 2001, with support of family and other volunteers, Ryan established the Ryan’s Well Foundation, a registered Canadian charity that helps build wells, educates children about water and sanitation, and motivates people of all ages and backgrounds to perform their own “power of one” miracles.

Earth Day has come and gone, but the issues that have brought us this wonderful day are still unresolved. It was nice to see everyone being so environmentally conscious on this particular day but I don’t understand why the general public can't be greener everyday? The earth and all the resources was given to us as a gift and we are the stewards of this great planet, so why are so many people numb to the issues that directly impact the very essentials that sustain life?

Anyhow, I want to focus more on the positive impacts that are being done by individuals, groups, and companies to make our environment a little greener.

Please share with us what you did this Earth Day, because sharing may inspire someone else to act!

As some of you may know, on November 15, 2008 we gave away one of our Water Pitcher Filters and all the participants had to do was follow us on Twitter.com.   Bill Lewis (Twitter follower iammrbill) was one of those individuals who had nothing to lose and is now our big winner.  Mr. Lewis resides in Jacksonville, Florida where he is a Freelance Audio Visual Technician doing video projection and engineering for corporate business shows all over the World. When asking Lewis about himself, he made this statement, "Water is precious and we should not take it for granted at anytime" and I would have to agree.  Unfortunately, many individuals do!  Anyhow, many thanks to all those how participated in our give away and congratulations to Bill.
