See the article here:

April 7th is World Health Day 2011. The World Health Organization(WHO) will introduce a six-point policy package to combat the spread of antimicrobial resistance.  We live in an era of medical breakthroughs with new wonder drugs available to treat conditions that a few decades ago, or even a few years ago in the case of HIV/AIDS, would have proved fatal.  Antimicrobial resistance and its global spread threaten the continued effectiveness of many medicines used today to treat the sick, while at the same time it risks jeopardizing important advances being made against major infectious killers.

The Story of Bottled Water

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all. Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0&feature=player_embedded# added by: pjacobs51

World Water Day: Make Your Voice Heard!

Posted on March 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

World Water Day will be held on March 22. To mark the date, the Pulitzer Center is teaming up with the writers’ site Helium and some of the world’s most influential water advocates and NGOs to present a World Water Day writing contest. We want to hear your voices on the world’s greatest public health crisis: Inaccessibility to safe water. Some 1.1 billion people lack reliable access to safe water that is free from disease and industrial waste. And 2.6 billion do not have access to adequate sanitation facilities. Approximately 4,500 people die everyday from waterborne diseases – more than from HIV-AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. These are among the issues addressed in Downstream, the Pulitzer Center’s interactive web portal dedicated to global water issues. To learn more about these water-related issues, you can also view Water Wars here on Current. Produced by the Common Language Project in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center, Water Wars are multimedia reports that focus on water scarcity and climate change in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. Now, the Pulitzer Center is seeking to spur public debate by asking: Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation claims 4,500 lives a day. What should we do about it? This is an opportunity to have your ideas – and solutions! – showcased to thousands of readers. To submit your essay visit the Pulitzer Center website. All entries will be shown on the Helium and Pulitzer Center sites. The winner, selected from the 10 entries judged best by the Helium community, will receive a Pulitzer Center Citizen Journalist Award. The deadline for the World Water Day Writing Contest is Wednesday March 31. The Pulitzer Center Citizen Journalist Award for this contest will be announced on Friday April 9. added by: PulitzerCenter
