Solving Sustainability for...Safe Sanitiser

This second round of lockdown for Melburnians and some surrounds has hit harder this time.

We’re reeling from having to do it again, it being stricter this time than before and the feeling that we’ve been let down by some sectors of society not following the rules as well as others.

What started as ‘we’re in this together’ became a blame game and divisive.

Our task now is to try to get through this with a positive attitude and come out of it a little bit wiser, hopefully a bit more compassionate and with a sense of achievement that we did it, we made it, and we made a difference.

With this in mind, I think to some of the problems that need solving and start with this one:

Safe Sanitiser.

When I heard that James Merlino: Minister for Education was going to invest $45 million dollars in providing sanitiser to schools, I contacted his office immediately to appeal to him to consider providing ewater systems instead.

What is ewater you ask? Ewater is a machine that makes cleaner and sanitiser from tap water using electricity and salt. It is non-toxic, completely safe for human use, and has no negative impact on the environment.

There is much information available on the potentially harmful effects of long-term use of sanitiser, especially for children in the areas of affecting hormone development, increasing resistance to antibiotics, alcohol poisoning, immune function and the toxic chemical inclusions, such as phthalates and parabens.

I proposed to Minister Merlino, surely he would rather children aren't exposed to as much sanitiser and cleaning chemicals as is being suggested? The use of a safe product in schools will dramatically reduce the impact of exposure to potentially dangerous chemicals for these young people.

Plus, its the old adage, give a man a fish, he'll eat for a week, give him a rod and he'll eat fish for life. That $45 million would be far better spent on a permanent solution than on tons of a one-off potentially toxic consumable.

I’m in communication with the schools cleaning unit now to hopefully get these systems into schools and am appealing to you to consider installing a machine at your place of work.

Below is a link to ewater, outlining its safety and benefits; let them know you heard about it through me!
