Water For Life
The Essential Benefits of a 2-Stage Ceramic and Activated Charcoal Water Filter
Take water purity into your own hands
Clean, safe drinking water is essential for our well-being. It's a vital element of our daily lives, as it affects our health, energy, and overall quality of life. While many of us rely on municipal water treatment facilities, these systems don't always catch every potential contaminant. That's where home water filtration systems come into play. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of using a 2-stage ceramic and activated charcoal water filter to ensure that your water is not only pure but also beneficial for your health and overall life.
In the windswept embrace of Tekakwitha Island, community members in Kahnawà:ke unite to breathe life back into the land. The island, once a desolate rocky expanse, is now witnessing the birth of a food forest, a testament to the resilience and commitment of its volunteers.
🌳 Regenerating the Island's Heart
Tekakwitha Island, born from the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s, had severed its ties with nature, leaving behind a rocky terrain inhospitable to life. However, recent efforts, including a bay restoration project, have rekindled hope. Now, a dedicated team from the Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) is creating a food forest, aiming to revive native plants and restore the island's ecological balance.
🌱 Permaculture Wisdom at Work
In the face of challenging soil quality, Marina Gosselin, KEPO's environmental projects coordinator, collaborated with Graham Calder, founder of P3 Permaculture, during a permaculture workshop. Calder introduced the lasagna garden technique, a method mirroring natural forest floor processes, demonstrating the power of permaculture in rejuvenating landscapes.

🌎 Climate Positive Vision
This regenerative initiative aligns with KEPO's broader climate change plan, utilizing the food forest as an educational tool. Julie Teio’keráthe Delisle, working in education and outreach at KEPO, engaged the community's vast knowledge through surveys, ensuring the project meets their needs.
🌈 Seeds of Sovereignty and Security
As the island undergoes transformation, Gail Taylor and Douglas Lahache share a vision of food sovereignty and security. Lahache, dedicated to reviving original corn varieties, emphasizes the importance of reclaiming traditional crops. The food forest represents a tangible step towards reconnecting with ancestral practices.
