Did you know that out of all the water in our oceans, rivers, ice caps, etc, only about 1% is fit to be used for drinking? And that the oceans hold 95% of the world's water supply?

I read that article in National Gepgraphic. Sure paints a bleak picture, doesn't it?
Yet I believe there are solutions, technology-based as well as in the wosdom of ancient practices, whereby the problem could be ameliorated.

Another thing - I heard over the BBC that Indonesia, at its present pace of logging (illegal or legal) will lose its forests in a decade.
