Recycled Urine Water

The space shuttle that arrived at the ISS (International Space Station) was carrying an experimental piece of equipment. It is a device that recycles human urine into drinkable water, hopefully. The system cost $250 million to make and is using cutting edge technology. One astronaut commented that," Will make yesterday's coffee into today's coffee." If you want to read the article for yourself the link is here.

In other news, I have an updated amount that has been recieved. The new total is $940. I would like to give my thanks to everybody who has visited my blog and helped out. Even if you just talked about it recently I still give my thanks.

I give my utmost thanks to every person who donated or just visited the site.
If anybody has any ideas on how to raise money, please post a blog and help out.

How to Help

I have installed a donate button at the main page so anybody who wants to help me achieve my goal, can help. It is located at the bottom of the right bar on the page. My goal is approximately $1000 a month. When May of 2009 comes, i hope to have the money to go to Japan.

Welcome

Hello to all of those who are visiting this site for the first time. Here is a little information about myself and my goal.



I am in tenth grade and go to Colonial High School. I have been accepted to a program called People to People. This year we are going to Japan, where we will be for two weeks. We will be engulfed within the culture of this country. In order to go to on this trip, I need to raise $7,000.
