Happy World Water Day đź’§
Did you know that two billion people live without access to safe water?
Climate change, economic development, and a growing population all contribute to water scarcity and declining water quality globally. Plastic pollution also impacts our water resources. And while most studies focus on marine impacts, there is a growing body of research showing that our freshwater ecosystems (and the humans who rely on them) are also impacted by plastic pollution, with the world’s poorest and most marginalized communities taking on most of the burden.
Since 1993, World Water Day has been a day to celebrate water, raise awareness about the billions of people living without access to safe water, and take action to protect this vital resource.
