World Water Day 2020: Water and Climate Change

At Pure & Secure, LLC, our mission is to improve lives, and we do this by improving the quality of water for our customers around the world. We’ve seen the difference that pure water can make: Water is powerful!

That’s why this coming holiday is so important to us: March 22, 2020 is World Water Day. This year’s theme revolves around Water and Climate Change – and how they are linked.

It’s such a big theme! But let’s focus. The United Nations has three key messages for us this year:

1. Everyone has a role to play. In our daily lives, there are surprisingly easy steps we can all take to address climate change.
2. Water can help fight climate change. There are sustainable, affordable and scalable water and sanitation solutions.
3. We cannot afford to wait. Climate policy makers must put water at the heart of action plans.

That’s a little more straight-forward, right? Let’s break it down a little further, and then we’ll talk about how Pure Water can help.

Everyone has a role to play.

As the World Water Day website says “Yes, climate change can feel scary and daunting. But there is one simple step you can take immediately that will make a big difference: don’t waste water.”

You might feel like your efforts are just a “drop in the bucket” (pun intended), but every little bit helps! Every drop of water that we save is a drop closer to mitigating this crisis. And if we all work together, that’s a lot of drops.

Want proof? Thousands of people are tracking their efforts on the UN’s ActNow website.

We’re here to help too. Pure Water wants to amplify your efforts while also making sure you stay safe, hydrated, and healthy.

Water can help fight climate change.

How can something as simple as water help fight climate change?

By adapting to the water effects of climate change, we will protect health and save lives.  In fact, the UN claims that climate-resilient water supply and sanitation could save the lives of more than 360,000 infants every year.

And, by using water more efficiently, we will reduce greenhouse gases. If we limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, compared to 2°C, we could cut climate-induced water stress by up to 50%.

There are sustainable, affordable and scalable water and sanitation solutions that align with this change we want to see. We’re proud that Pure Water distillers can help reach this goal.

In Case You Missed It: What’s the Deal with Climate Change and Water?

We cannot afford to wait.

With extreme weather events on the rise and with water scarcity affecting millions of people around the globe, we can’t afford to wait to take action.

Extreme weather – expected to increase in frequency and intensity because of climate change – has caused more than 90% of major disasters over the last decade. And extreme weather can contaminate our drinking water supplies too (just look at the flooding we had in the Midwest last year).

Today, 1 in 3 people – around 2.2 billion – live without safe drinking water. And with aging infrastructure, that number will grow if we don’t take action now.

Take action today. Not only can you make a difference in the worldwide fight, but you can also protect yourself and your family. We can help.
