“<br />

IF WE DON’T CONFRONT the value system that<br />

created our problems in the first place, we will fail.”<br />

—Dr Jon O’Riordan and Robert William Sandford<br />

problems in the first place,” the<br />

authors warn, “we will fail.” That<br />

means that the needs—or what we<br />

perceive as needs—must also change.<br />

For instance, Canadian households<br />

throw away 2.1 million tonnes<br />

of food a year—“enough to fill<br />

Toronto’s Rogers Centre three times<br />

over,” the authors write. And waste<br />

occurs in land and resource use as<br />

well, often discounting ecosystem<br />

value in favour of single-resource<br />

exploitation.<br />

But our survival depends on turning<br />

away from a siloed and throwaway<br />

approach based on comfort, conformity<br />

and a love affair with the<br />

appearance of prosperity. Close to<br />

home for me, strata rules prohibit<br />

sun-drying clothes on the balcony—<br />

something free and sustainable that eliminates wear on building<br />

systems and clothing, and reduces energy consumption. But because<br />

some people think it looks bad—perhaps, God forbid, makes it look<br />

like we can’t afford fancy machines—it’s prohibited. How much<br />

longer can we afford to let appearance rule our decision-making<br />

around resources?<br />

“All of our buying,” O’Riordan says, pointing to holiday consumption<br />

as an example, “is buying energy and water.” He laments that<br />

people don’t see that chain behind products and services, don’t realize<br />

the wasteful and environmentally destructive processes they’re<br />

supporting. That’s why we need what he calls transformative discussions<br />

and, above all, education—like the kind we get in this book.<br />

O’Riordan hopes that a better understanding of the nexus will<br />

motivate people to change their behaviour, not because it’s financially<br />

expedient but because it’s the right thing to do. His ideal would<br />

be for everyone, from primary to university, to take a course on the<br />

climate nexus. He’s currently helping develop a pilot course for use<br />

in high schools.<br />

Academic but applicable, the book is a call for us all to be creative<br />

engineers of our future. “In the end,” O’Riordan and Sandford<br />

conclude, “the entire human population on Earth is one…If we are<br />

to solve the crisis in the nexus, we will have to act in concert as one<br />

overall system, and learn to co-operate and support each other in<br />

ways that we have never thought of before. For better or worse, we<br />

are all in this together.” Full steam ahead.<br />

Clean water: the most economical path to optimum health<br />

In four decades of research,” says Triangle Healing Products owner Diane Regan,<br />

“I’ve found that two of the most valuable tools for optimum health are water<br />

distillers and structured water units. Drink clean water and your health will change<br />

for the better.” Distilled water is the most beneficial and most economical way to<br />

clean your water.<br />

Diane, a youthful looking 70-something, confirms, “I drink it, I promote it.” The<br />

benefits of drinking distilled water can be dramatic. Many people with arthritis state<br />

that they can knit again without pain, and fibromyalgia symptoms dissipate within<br />

the first month of drinking distilled water.<br />

The purpose of water in our bodies is to act as a solvent—to dissolve food<br />

substances for assimilation, and to dissolve inorganic mineral substances for elimination.<br />

Because our bodies are 75 percent water, it makes sense to drink the cleanest<br />

purest water. Dr. Allen E. Banik, author of The Choice is Clear, says, “Distilled<br />

water is the greatest solvent on Earth—the only one that can be taken into the body<br />

without damage to the tissues.”<br />

See the website aquariusthewaterbearer.com<br />

for more evidence<br />

on Distilled Water research.<br />

Clean water also tastes better.<br />

One client had enjoyed a very good<br />

cup of coffee at her friend’s home—<br />

much better than she seemed able<br />

to brew at home. Yet both used the<br />

same brand of coffee. The key to<br />

the great taste she discovered, was<br />

her friend’s use of distilled water.<br />

As a result she came in to Triangle<br />

to buy her own distiller.<br />

Filtered water is not the same as<br />

distilled water, and in fact, can be<br />

dangerous. Decaying matter collects<br />

Precision Water System 8-gallons-per-day automatic<br />

counter-top distiller<br />

on the bottom of every filter, forming an excellent breeding ground for bacteria.<br />

Structure your clean water for optimum health. All water is dead, even distilled<br />

water, but structuring water is like sending it over a waterfall, erasing its negative<br />

memories and allowing it to return to its natural state. Clayton Nolte, a researcher<br />

who invented life-transforming Natural Action Water Structuring Technologies, calls<br />

structured water the ultimate health food. Beverages taste better, cut flowers last<br />

longer, livestock and pets are healthier, and less soap is required for washing.<br />

One Triangle client who had two arthritic dogs on medication and having trouble<br />

walking any distance, bought a water distiller and a structuring unit. Within a month,<br />

she reported that she couldn’t keep up with her dogs on their walks. There are no<br />

placebo effects with animals.<br />

Visit Triangle Healing Products to see the technology and to taste the difference.<br />

We are led to believe Victoria has a clean water source. Come into Triangle and<br />

see what is left after distilling one gallon of water. And bottled water is not as clean<br />

as we are led to believe either.<br />

Diane will show you the residue left behind when tap water is distilled, as well<br />

as photos of potatoes grown from discarded peels and watered with distilled structured<br />

water. Seeing is believing.<br />
