Puddles Weblog edited by Thomas HollydayOur Mission: As world water resources decline and habitat is destroyed plans are being made by governments to save enough drinking water for humans. What about animals and wildlife? In 1985 our editor Thomas Hollyday created Puddles to comment on our culture, our literature and our organizations and make sure animals and wildlife are remembered in this coming water crisis. Join him and others on the Puddles weblog with your comments and questions to make sure animals and wildlife are always protected with an adequate supply of clean drinking water. Puddles weblog is named for Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, the home of the greatest animal champion in literature, Doctor John Dolittle, MD. Join us now! |

solar sipper sense may
Solar Sipper Sense May2010. Since 1985, originally Puddles newsletter, blog copy at puddlesweblog.com. Dedicated to clean drinking water resources for animals. Comment to Tom Hollyday, editor, at tomah@solarsippers.com. Published by Happy Bird Corporation, solarsippers.com, or mail at PO Box 86, Weston, MA 02493.
Editorial: Still trust your birdbath to provide daily clean drinking water? Anyway, some basics about clean drinking water. Pollution occurs from two sources, point and non-point. Point means the pollution come from a discrete source like a leaking sewer pipe. Non-point means it comes from diffuse sources like runoff contaminants from agricultural fields or the chemicals you put on your grass. Now, here’s the kicker. A lot of pollution is naturally caused and the problems only comes when there is too much concentration for nature to take care of. It’s like your cat getting into a jar of molasses and afterwards not being able to clean off its sticky face by itself. Some contaminants deplete oxygen in water which kills fish. Others cloud water and kill plant life by robbing sunlight. Some chemicals are toxic which means they carry disease or alter water chemistry. That’s the problem with birds bathing and pooping in uncovered birdbaths then drinking the stuff. Contaminants can be organic like gasoline, solvents or detergents, or inorganic like fertilizer. There can also be floating trash and there can be overheating of water from power plants. More later.
2010 government and non-profit discount program. It’s fair to say that government and non profits like schools offer a lot of aid to wildlife and companion animals. So, we want to help to in these days of natural and human caused drinking water disasters. Federal, State, Town, schools, and your local documented non profit nature or animal welfare group can write for our government price list and government credit card procedure. Clean water is a right for animals and let’s make it happen, whether you use a Solar Sipper non-electric covered water station or whether you use a tin pan, as long as it is fresh daily.
