  Water, Water Everywhere

Approximately 70 percent of our planet is covered in water. In total, that’s approximately 1,260 million trillion liters, which sounds like an enormous amount, but less than one percent of it can easily be used as drinking water. A major amount, 97 percent, is salt water, and two percent is glacier ice. Scientists and politicians are becoming increasingly worried about the amount of water, and predict that there will be wars in the future to control our water supplies.

      The world’s population is growing rapidly, and the need for water in industry and agriculture is enormous. Climate change also adds to the problem: droughts restrict access to water even further, and flooding can pollute supplies of drinking water. Furthermore, these threats to our environment are probably only going to get worse. Already 1.2 billion people live in areas with limited access to water, and the UN predicts that, by 2025, this figure will rise to 1.8 billion, or two thirds of the world’s population.

      But the problem isn’t only how much water we need, it’s also how we clean and store it. In the US, for example, water facilities are old and inefficient, and it’s hugely expensive to improve them. In China, the government knows it will need to spend $850 billion to improve its water infrastructure. Currently, India can only clean about 30 percent of its wastewater, meaning that people risk disease when they drink from polluted sources. Some countries filter sea water to make their drinking water. But this process is also very expensive, so it isn’t viable in many countries.

      We can’t give up on this problem, however, because without water we can’t survive. Thankfully, there are already some excellent water purification products operating on a small scale, which are already helping people whose access to water is limited.

      The “Slingshot” is a new water purifier, about the size of a small refrigerator, and is the creation of American inventor Dean Kamen. The purifier works by heating the water, which kills anything harmful. It can purify even the dirtiest water, requires minimal electricity, and can clean up to 1,000 liters a day. The “Slingshot” is already helping communities in several countries, including South Africa and Mexico. It will soon provide a cheap and safe supply of water in many other places where poverty prevents access to clean water.

      Dean Kamen believes that every human should have the right to clean water every day. Hopefully, with more devices like the “Slingshot”, there will soon be more water to go around.

                     O criador da camisa “canarinho”

A história de como a primeira versão do uniforme da Seleção Brasileira de Futebol foi definitivamente aposentada é conhecida: branca, com detalhes em azul, a camisa não foi nem para o banco, por assim dizer, depois da derrota do Brasil, por 2 a 1, para o Uruguai, em pleno Maracanã, no jogo final da Copa de 1950. Do que pouco se fala é a maneira como o novo visual do time acabou sendo adotado. Disposta a apagar de vez a lembrança daquela traumática partida, a Confederação Brasileira de Desportos – a CBD, mais tarde renomeada como CBF – decidiu repaginar o figurino do selecionado, com vistas ao Mundial da Suíça (1954). Em parceria com o jornal carioca Correio da Manhã, a entidade lançou em 1953 um concurso para a escolha do novo layout da equipe.

Gaúcho de Jaguarão, o caricaturista Aldyr Garcia Schlee, então com 19 anos, enviou para o diário um desenho em tinta guache de um jogador vestindo uma camisa amarela, com gola e mangas pintadas de verde-bandeira, calção azul com listras brancas nas laterais e meião branco com faixas em verde e amarelo. Schlee concorreu com 300 propostas – e soube que havia vencido ao ver seu croqui publicado no Correio de 15 de dezembro de 1953. “Fiquei louco”, contava ele. Professor de direito e premiado jornalista, estreou na ficção na década de 80. Publicou uma dúzia de bons livros, mas sua notoriedade esteve sempre associada ao uniforme que criou – e que deu à seleção o apelido de “Canarinho”.
