World Water Day

World Water Day 

World Water Day was set aside by the UN to highlight the importance of clean fresh water. Events focus on water conservation, education, sustainable projects for the management of fresh water resources, beach clean up projects and river-side replanting projects, and invasive species volunteer groups heading out to eradicate unwanted plants that will choke out native species. The first World Water Day was officially held in 1993 and is now celebrated across the planet.

Consider picking up a copy of our Trash Talk book series which addresses many ways of conserving the amount of water we use, reusing old water and reducing water use. For instance, one might save the water from cooking potatoes; once cool, it can be used to feed outdoor plants.  Hot water from the canner can be used to kill weeds in the driveway, gravel walkways and sidewalks.

Refuse to buy bottled water and instead buy several refillable ones. Install a water purifier machine under the sink, have this also run to the fridge cold water and ice section. There are adaptors for the water filters now that will take all the discharged water (when the machine washes itself out) and forces it back into the water pipes... using this water for washing dishes, laundry and other household uses is perfectly safe.

We also have a little search box on the right-hand side-bar of this blog. It's pretty small, but once you find the box simply pop in key words like "water conservation" to find an array of articles, resources and interviews we've done in the past on this topic.

Watch for special school lessons, musical or theatre performances on the theme of water and look for organizations that are making contributions to solve various water crisis that exist all over the planet.
