Time is Water
3 hours.
Think how that time could be spent instead.
Caring for the family, going to school…
or even having fun.
To help make water available for everyone, SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel urge you to support World Water Day, March 22…
by conserving water and doing all that you can to reduce your Water Footprint – the amount of water you use each day for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene, household needs and more.
Sponsored by the United Nations, this year’s World Water Day focuses on Water and Sustainable Development.
Water is essential for all types of development – from growing food to generating electricity, creating industry and building communities.
Far from being a regional problem, lack of water is a global problem that requires a global solution…starting with responsible water usage management that minimizes waste and pollution.
It’s not just the big things we do that make a difference. It’s all the little things. Like something as simple as taking a shower.
According to the non-profit Surfrider Foundation, which is dedicated to protecting the world’s oceans, waves and beaches, a 10-minute shower can waste more than 40 gallons of water.
“A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men;
as sympathetic threads, our actions come back to us as effects.”
– Herman Melville, author, Moby Dick.
