World Water Day - March 22nd
I am so grateful for indoor plumbing, clean water and the ability to create a bathroom for myself. Of course, not everyone is so fortunate. In 2014
768 million people continue to live without safe drinking water, while 2.5 billion live without sanitation. Did you know that one in six people on earth have no access to a toilet? What would your life be like, if that were you?
Solving the world water crisis means both conserving (not wasting) and protecting (not polluting) water.
Here's a 3 minute video about how much water we use every day without thinking:

And closer to home, four decades after the state government vowed to clean up and protect
New Jersey's waterways, an effort that has cost billions of dollars since 1972, only one passes all water tests: a brook in a remote, forested part of Sussex County near the Pennsylvania border.
