I drink only water, so the purity and conservation of water is very important to me. Hope you're having a lovely day in your beautiful and exciting Rio.

Hi nothingprofound, thanks for visiting me!
Yes, water is the best and healthy drink in the world!!! But you know, people say that it will be as much expensive as euros, gold and petrol for the near generations! We have to conserve and share it because any kind of life depends on water to survive!

But I'm still optmistic about human beeing, because people also create and do amazing things one to another.
