Being able to travel effectively is an art in and of itself. You spend countless hours making your travel arrangements, finding the best air line tickets, meticulously packing your luggage to avoid overage or extra bag fees and planning the quickest route to and from the ports of call. Unfortunately when it comes to life on the road, many people take for granted the most important aspect of any trip. Yes, we all are concerned with the flight, and the accommodations at the hotel but somehow once we reach our boarding quarters we automatically think we are out of the woods. Each year motel and hotel fires cause hu

From the Flint, Michigan, water crisis to the Dakota Pipeline Protestors, water quality and the sustainability of safe drinking water is a major concern of people all across the country.
