Today is World Water Day!

1 in 8 people lack access to clean water.
Water, energy use, and food go hand-in-hand... and we are going to need a lot more of them as the world continues to grow.

What are some things you can do to support?
  • Take a 1 song shower
  • Buy a re-usable water bottle (I love this one, 24 oz.)
  • Use tap water!
  • Buy recycled or environmentally friendly goods
  • Buy recycled/eco-friendly gifts: NOVICA or uncommongoods
  • Recycle more / produce less waste
  • Buy your coffee from TOMS - one coffee = water for a person in need
  • Reset your Amazon bookmark to smile.amazon.com, a portion of your % will go to a charity, like Charity Water - all the time!
  • Watch this video about bottled water
  • Support charities like One Drop and Water Aid
