World Water Day

Everyone's cup should run over with clean water

"There is enough water for human need but not for human greed." – Mahatma Ghandi

Today is a day that will go unnoticed by far too many – March 22 is World Water Day. It’s a day sanctioned by the United Nations to bring awareness to the fact that by 2030 two-thirds of the world will lack access to clean drinking water. The severity of this crisis has prompted the United Nations to conclude that water scarcity will be the chief constraint to increased food production in the next few decades. The threat to water resources stands as one of the major crises facing the planet. Unfortunately World Water Day hasn’t achieved the same visibility as Earth day... not yet anyway. We hope all that will change after today.

We at Multi-Pure feel that one day is not enough to do justice to all the water issues that deserve our attention. Every day we talk about clean water here on our blog. Did you know that the water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns?

Please join us in a campaign to raise the awareness of the severe water crisis we are facing in America and around the world. Currently more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water - that number will only increase unless we do something about it now.

LESS THAN 1% OF THE WORLD’S FRESH WATER IS READILY ACCESSIBLE FOR HUMAN USE!

Water is something so many of us take for granted. We think it’s available in unlimited supplies, yet 20 percent more water than is now available will be needed to feed the additional three billion people who will be alive by 2025.

Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.

Visit www.tappedthemovie.com to sign legislation that protects our water supplies, repairs our infrastructure, and keeps water a public right rather than a commodity that can be bought and sold like any other article of commerce. The time has come where we can sit back and hope someone else fixes the problem or we can DO SOMETHING about it!

Today begins the first day of a month-long tour across the country called "Get Off the Bottle!" tour, sponsored by Multi-Pure and Tappedthemove.com Together, we CAN make a difference!
