The Berkey manufacturer has filed a lawsuit against the EPA seeking to stop it's unjustified persecution of Berkey Water Filters based on the EPA’s decision this year to treat Berkey Water Filters as though they are pesticides, rather than water filters. The EPA has already ordered the closure of Berkey's largest warehouse. Please see our blog post for the details.

Support for Fracking Falls to Lowest Levels

Fracking support falls off cliff
According to the government's own pollsters support for fracking has fallen to it's lowest level yet. Nonetheless the government's policies remain blissfully unchanged. This article is a piece of fluff in which the Guardian attempts to preserve so-called journalistic objectivity in the name of fairness. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity? Clean drinking water is a basic necessity of life and every attempt to undermine the quality of our common drinking water for private gain should be pilloried and exposed by the press. Apparently the Guardian didn't get the memo.

Support for fracking in the UK at lowest levels since surveys began

For those concerned about their water quality and safety the Berkey systems provide a reliable and inexpensive source of water for pennies on the gallon. According to www.sourcewatch.org an estimated 30% to 70% of the fluid used in fracking will resurface: polluting surface water, ground water and reservoirs. Some of the toxic contaminants found in fracking waste water are radium-226, strontium, benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene among others. All of these toxic contaminants are removed by the Black Berkey filters, this has been confirmed through the years by various rounds of  independent lab testing.

The powerful Black Berkey water filters also remove or reduce viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, pharmaceuticals, harmful chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness, trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they are able to leave undisturbed the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body requires.
