The constant need to seek clean water, robs them of not only their time but also their potential. They are not able to develop their own skills because they must spend all of their free time collecting water. This pursuit becomes more difficult and time consuming as climate change causes frequent and severe droughts and sea-level rise contaminates other sources of fresh water. Currently, two billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and nearly half the global population experiences severe water scarcity at least part of the year. With climate change and population growth, these numbers are expected to continue rising. Today is World Water Day, and we all have a role in making every drop count. Simple actions, like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, can save up to 8 gallons a day. Learn more, including how you can help, on my page and by looking for organizations, locally and globally, making clean water a reality for everyone.
