HAPPY EARTH DAY! Save a Life!

"Imagine if, instead of just going to a tap in your kitchen, or to a water cooler, anytime you were thirsty, you had to hoist a heavy vessel onto your head and walk, up to two hours, to a well, where, after filling your vessel, you had to carry it two more hours back home."

My heart breaks just thinking about the water dilemma facing so many people around the world, while we sit here taking our clean, safe water for granted.

Check out these facts:

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

Roughly 1/6 of the world's population does not have access to safe drinking water.

Some 6,000 children die every day from lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene.

In the past 10 years, diarrhea has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II.

The average person in the developing world uses
2.64 gallons of water/day.

The average person in the United Kingdom uses
35.66 gallons of water /day.

The average person in the United States uses
between 100 and 175 gallons every day at home.
