While many of us have made a conscious decision to
use less water – and for some parts of the
UK this has been reinforced by a
hosepipe ban – perhaps fewer of us actually think about the
amount of water that goes into producing our
food. Information on the
World Water Day website gives us an insight into how we can make a
better choice.
In the
West we have little conception of what
life is like for many parts of the
world where water is such a
scare resource life is virtually untenable.
So what we can do today is
wear blue and donate £1 to the
water charity Just A Drop. Every 20 seconds a
child dies through lack of water. £1 can deliver
safe water to a child for nearly ten years.
