Advert turns air into drinking water




This article is about a new technology to produce clean water through an advert which turns desert air into water. This happens in Lima, Peru where researchers at the University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) together with an advertising agency Mayo Peru DraftFCB. 

The idea is to supply the citizens of the region with drinking water, because that area is a desert and most of the people do not have access to clean water. 

If we look close to the advertising we can see in one corner it says: admission exam to get in that university. They pretend to increase the number of students showing that in their university, students have the opportunity of work in interesting projects, which is fair enough in my opinion. On the other hand those researchers gave a real solution to a real problem, which is the lack of clean water for everyone.

I think water has no color, I mean everyone has the right to access to clean water. No matter who you are or where you live. We already know there are some countries were children don´t have clean water to drink, that is not fair. I think this is a good invent and I hope will work in different parts of the planet were people really need it.

Free writing

A time you got lost!

It was a Saturday morning several years ago. I had to go to Limache to meet my classmates to do some project. I already wrote down the address of my classmate and the bus that I should take. So far everything was perfect! I took the bus and I ask the driver if he pass near the limache station, he said of course, but I didn´t know if he really heard me or not. I was sitting in the bus very calm, suddenly I start to see a huge part of the country side that I didn´t know. I started to worry.
