Whether your favorite beverage is coffee, soda, or beer, the truth is plain old H2O is the foundation for most every beverage on planet Earth. But think for a minute and you’ll realize that water quenches so much more than thirst. It powers much of the world around us without much notice. Water allows us to put out fires to keep people safe. Water provides sanitation in homes and hospitals. Water helps grow the food we eat. Water drives industry – especially in a region like Hampton Roads. Now take a minute and imagine your day without water.
Each year askHRgreen.org participates in a nationwide campaign called Imagine a Day Without Water. It’s a thought-provoking exercise to help people realize the importance of our nation’s water and wastewater systems. Working quietly behind the scenes is a network of underground water pipes and pumps that carry clean drinking water to our homes, businesses, hospitals, and schools. Once we’re finished with that water, our wastewater system takes over and cleans our dirty water to make it safe to discharge into area waterways. Without these robust water systems which work around the clock 365 days per year, our quality of life would suffer. Simply put, water is life and we’re blessed to have 24/7 access to safe drinking water at the flick of a handle.
Here’s what you can do to help celebrate Imagine a Day Without Water on October 20th:
- Make plans to visit one of our partner breweries to receive a FREE pint glass sleeve on October 20th.
- Learn about ways to conserve water around the house.
- Design a home landscape that’s drought tolerant and water wise.
- Choose tap over bottled water – it saves money and the environment.
- Protect the pipes by keeping fats, oil, and grease out of the kitchen sink.
- Never flush wipes or other trash down the toilet.
