Today is World Water Day. You might think "they have a day for everything, don't they?" That is what I thought at first glance after reading they had set aside a day as "World Water Day"... until I began to read some startling statistics about water. I read that 97% of the world's water is salty, 2% is in the polar ice caps, leaving only 1% to supply human needs. One billion people here on the earth DO NOT have access to clean water. That is one person out of six! An overwhelming majority of diseases and sicknesses could be prevented by simply having clean water to drink.
Here in America, 5 gallons of tap water costs us only 1 penny. A leaky faucet can waste up to 3000 gallons of water in a year!
We have decided to be a part of the solution to provide clean water for those in need. For every $100 you spend with us in 2010 here at All Things New Photography, we are going to give $10 to Blood Water Mission. Blood Water Mission is an organization that wants to empower communities in Africa to provide solutions to access clean water through the creation of wells and bio sand water filters. Here is a link to the organization's website: www.bloodwatermission.com
So give us a call and set up a time for you and your loved ones to smile for the camera to provide clean water for those in need!
