WWD 22 March

Hey Folk World Water Day is 22 March.

70% of water use goes towards agriculture.

If you want to eat (and who doesn't) we need water.

Some say WWIII will be fought over water.

There are already 1000s of lawsuits in the US alone related to water.

World wide 884,000,000 (3x us pop) do not have access to clean water and 3,500,00 die annually (mostly kids) because of diseases related to unclean water.

Please find a way to mention water - the importance of water in our lives and importance of sharing water - with your students.

A short video is at http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/allyoueat_en.html

Oh and just an FYI - those plastic water bottles are horrible for the planet so try to give those up!

If you have questions see me.

Thanks!
