Stormwater runoff can be generated from a variety of everyday residential and commercial activities such as washing cars on paved surfaces, improperly disposing of pet waste, over fertilizing our lawns, and making home improvements without erosion protection. By identifying and understanding how some of our everyday actions can contribute to stormwater runoff and making small changes to how we perform these tasks, we can help prevent water pollution in our communities.

We ran into the Ryan family this week on the Churchstreet Marketplace as Demag Riggers delivered their tree. It was an honor to talk with them as they shared their story.
Once again Third Generation Media & Design was honored to help broadcast this great event.

Our mission is to bring clean drinking water to the world. The next piece in that puzzle for us is our WaterStation™ product. The WaterStation™ prototype is a fully-functioning, portable water purifier that removes biological and man-made contaminants. It is ideal for adventurers, car campers, rescue teams, 4×4 off-road enthusiasts, or anyone who doesn’t want the environmental footprint of bottled water. It also serves as a backup home water purifier in emergencies and natural disasters. We need your support to improve the design of the prototype and run the first set of production units.
