| FACTS & MISSION |
One third of the world is without adequate water. That's 2
billion people.
That number is expected to double in just twenty years! And
since the
onslaught of the Industrial Revolution, water quality standards
have dropped
drastically worldwide.
The Great Lakes basin represents 20% of the world's fresh water supply!
Water is for sale. And the people are buying. Water was referred
to as "the
oil of the 21st century" by Forbes magazine.
Roughly 60% of the human body is water. (The brain is composed
of 70 percent
water, the lungs are nearly 90 percent water, and the blood
is 83 percent
water).
You know, we've got a responsibility here. Let's discuss it over food and music... and a glass of cool clear water!
