An action for clean and reliable drinking water at the Ministry for Internal Affairs in Tirana, Albania

Today over 40 people gathered at the Ministry for Internal Affairs in the centre of Tirana, the capital of Albania. The issue is Tirana's drinking water, which is not clean, unreliable as it comes out of the tap only a few hours a day and that sewage systems continue to pollute the water sources.

Rebellious clowns handed out some of Tirana's finest tabwater, which was refused by most passers by... The Water Daughters were dressed in costumes showcasting the problems and got passers by involved by asking them what they would do to contribute to cleaner water. The messages were pinned onto a washing line hung across the Ministry building. A large banner in front of the building stated: 'Are you killing time or is time killing you?' aimed at most Albanians very laid back attitude towards these problems. Supposedly the Minister was on holiday when asked for by the demonstrators...

National TV channels, newspapers as well as various media activists covered the action. The action was the final outcome of the week of workshops as part of the Art and Activism Caravan, which is currently touring the Balkans.

This is Chris Anderson,
I have been educating consumers & others in the drinking water field for over 10 years.
How do you choose a water filter? What does the filter actually reduce or remove? And finally what does it cost? These answers are found by doing a little research or home work will call it. Doing such will save you a lot of money and provide you with pure “healthy” drinking water. The bottom line is you must get a Data Performance Sheet by the NSF national sanitation foundation to compare filters. These “proof of performance” sheets show exactly what the filter does and for how many gallons. If you can’t get one from the manufacturer or from who ever is trying to sell you one, simply say no thanks!
