The importance of water!

‘I’m dying of thirst!’

Well, we just might! It sounds so simple, H20 – two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. But this element better known as water, is the most essential, next to air, to our survival. Water truly is everywhere as we already know, yet still most take it for granted some of us are privileged to be able to use 200 litres of clean water a day, whilst others in developing countries are limited to using just 10 litres enough for a watering can!

I want to share a video with you all, that really does make you stop and think, but also makes you realise just how much we take for granted with the use of clean water within our own homes…

It’s scary to think that 2.5 billion people still don’t have access to adequate sanitation and clean water, which kills just over 2.5 million children from preventable illnesses such as diarrhoea, that’s roughly 4,000 children a day which equates to about 160 infant school classrooms lost to something we can prevent at the mere cost of $11.3 billion.

The next time you go to tip a glass of water out just ask yourself is it really necessary, or when you use the phrase ‘I’m dying of thirst’ just how privileged you really are to be drinking that clean water, whilst others are dying around the world due to lack of clean sanitised water!
