Me vs. The World… of Heat Transport: An Energy-saving Window’s Story
Heat loss is a cunning villain, and probably one of the most vastly accepted forms of wasted energy. Now energy is something you as humans take very seriously, especially electrical energy. With this you can do all sorts of useful things, like heat up your house in the winter or cool your car in the summer.

There is a public stigma that tap water is not fit for drinking. And given the experiences of people in third world countries battling bacterial and viral infections to residents in Flint, Michigan being exposed to high levels of lead and other pollutants from water contamination, can you really blame anyone who feels this way?
