10 WAYS TO CELEBRATE WORLD WATER WEEK WITH iROCKER
Help us celebrate World Water Week! Here are some tips on how you can do your part to preserve this essential resource.
1. Save water by taking shorter showers, fewer baths, turning off the tap when brushing your teeth, doing the dishes, or cooking.
2. Keep pollutants out of the water. That means avoiding pouring things like oils, medicines, and chemicals down the drain. And of course, always keep trash out of our waterways when out on your SUP.
3. Eat local and shop for in-season ingredients and products since they are usually made with less water.
4.Use natural solutions that help reduce flooding and store water such as planting a tree or using rain barrels to collect water for gardening.
5. Join local clean-ups of your community’s beaches, rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
6. Don’t waste food. By cutting down on food waste, you’ll reduce the demand on agriculture, one of the planet’s biggest water consumers.
7. Eat plant-based meals when possible. It takes 237 liters of water to produce 2.2 pounds of wheat. Compare that to an estimated 1,847 gallons of water to produce just 1 pound of beef!
8.Shop sustainable fashion. It takes 10,000 liters of water to produce just ONE pair of jeans. That equates to how much water the average person drinks in TEN years.
9. Write to your legislators to ask for their support in providing clean water for all.
10. Use your voice on social media. It doesn’t matter how many followers you have. Amplify the message on saving water with the #WorldWaterDay to raise awareness.
