World Water Day

March 22 is World Water Day, which is meant to bring attention to the issue of fresh water and its sustainable management. The United Nations declared the first World Water Day in 1993.
Did you know – Americans use an average of 573 litres of water a person EVERY DAY – Canadian use 329, Brits use 181 & Ethiopians 10.



A new survey suggests most Canadians regularly flush things down the toilet that they shouldn't be.
An online Ipsos Reid survey of 2-thousand Canadian adults found 55% believe fresh water is our most important natural resource, and 78% say they're trying to conserve it.
Yet, almost three quarters still admit to flushing items that could go in a garbage can or composter -- things like leftover food, hair, bugs and cigarette butts.
That wastes 6-to-20 litres of fresh, clean water with each flush.
