Let's start with a few figures:
1. 3.6 Million people die each year because you clean drinking water.
2. 4,000 Children under 5 die every day from preventable water-borne diseases.
3. 1 Billion people have no access to clean, safe Wasser.Das is 1 in 8 of us.
4. $25 can provide a person with water – for life.
If you're like me, life in a place where are these statistics only numbers to shock you for a moment. You life with this reality, every day of your life.
Do millions.
Each one of us can help.
No, you have to spend a single penny anyway spent talk would nicht.Let's about, a little.
Each bottle of water you purchase costs money, you have to pay the nicht.Ein should one-third of all bottled water is sold in the United States the exact same water as the water coming from your tap. And yet, gets placed in a bottle up to several hundred percent and sold to us marked.I go even to the environmental aspects which everything, what from plastic or tons oil needed to produce these bottles. These are questions, for an other Tag.Mein point here is simple:
Set instead of paying for bottled water that is exactly the same water from your tap in many cases, that the money aside to help communities to drink water, not to have.Here are just two simple inventions, we help fund the millions of people who die each Year…don don't ensure.
Just imagine: play merry go rounds, equipped with simple taps clean pump water in tanks to communities with water supply by children.This is what can do a play pump.
Now check out this interesting National Geographic video to play pump water systems
If play pumped is not handy, here is an invention that kann.Der be always useful roller Hippo helps women and children carry the water the you transport now much easier and much faster could take hours.Instead of carrying water on their heads or back in small quantities and with much pain, you can water simply quickly and easily - and in larger quantities roles.Check out the video, what impact this may have.
There are more inventions like this, you can help fund.Find for you, meaning macht.Dann instead of these 10 bottles to buy water, specify someone specify with 10 years water instead is richtig.Es needs much of our money to that tun.Und all we have to do is throw stop away on ridiculous bottled Wasser.Wie we can not our money?
Find a way to support the efforts to safe, clean water to everyone to bringen.Es a Menschenrecht.Lassen is us make sure that everyone gets the right.
Either at the play pump or roller Hippo donations or donations in water.org.
I know for some of us, a donation not only possible is that in Ordnung.Es are other ways than also contribute can start efforts to clean by signing the petition to support the United Nations, safe water for millions to bringen.Klicken below, the tun.Und then others say blog post and the blog action day 2010 about this-initiative.
This will cost you a cent, but it can save someone's life.
