EARTH DAY
2007
 

   
“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” – Aldous Huxley.

We agree. This Earth Day, we’d like you to stop and think differently about a resource we use every day: water. Five billion of us turn on the tap each day and water gushes out safe and clean. We don't walk miles for it, and it doesn't make us sick. Yet right now, more than 1.1 billion people on earth don’t have access to safe water. Bad water and a lack of basic sanitation causes 80% of all sickness and disease, killing more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Every day, millions of women and children walk more than three hours to fetch dirty water. Fair? Of course not. So let’s do something about it. Join us. Help us bring clean water and basic sanitation into impoverished communities, transforming the lives of men, women and children just like us. Together, we can make a healthier, safer world. Together, we can save lives. Only $20 can give someone clean water for 20 years. Please help.


Just one bottle can provide clean water to someone who needs it for 20 years.
