081 The One about Pure Water for the World
Episode 81: Show Notes
Speaking for myself, days can go by without me thinking about where my water comes from.\\xa0 I turn on the faucet and crystal-clear water comes out.\\xa0 It is there when I need it.\\xa0 Our water is clean and free from pathogens.\\xa0 However, it is not like this all over the world.\\xa0 In fact, more places don\\u2019t have good drinking water than places that do.\\xa0
As an industrial water treater, our job starts and ends with water.\\xa0 Without water we would all be in another career.\\xa0 I\'ve always wanted to try retail...\\xa0
Because we are industrial water treaters, we have an enormous opportunity to not only save\\xa0water, but\\xa0educate others about water.\\xa0 Join me as I interview Carolyn\\xa0Mueb\\xa0of Pure Water for the World.\\xa0 PWW, was introduced to me by The Association of Water Technologies (AWT.)\\xa0 To be perfectly honest, I thought it was a strange partnership.\\xa0 However, after taking the time to find out more, I can see where there are synergies between the 2 organizations.\\xa0 It is my belief that you will also change your mind on not only how you think about water but how so many do not have the same access to it.
