World Water Week: a penultimate opportunity
Another summer that is coming to an end, in which the days of rest and rest have been full of tranquility and enjoyment. During our vacation there will be no shortage of a refreshing dip, regardless of whether it took place on a paradisiacal beach, a busy and rowdy pool, a freezing river or under a comforting shower.
As we begin to idealize next year, could you imagine it without taking that exotic trip, or without reading the new novel by your favorite writer, or perhaps without sharing a few days with your inseparable friends? Even at the cost of losing much of its charm and appeal, the answer could perfectly well be, yes. But, what if the question we asked you was: could you imagine next summer...without water? Just trying to imagine such a dilemma devastates us, because such an approach is unacceptable, apocalyptic, only perceptible in the frame of a very distant science fiction future, right?
In this sense, we consider it important to inform you that this week the World Water Week, an event in which a large group of experts must meet, propose alternatives and address urgent solutions based on nature, to meet the growing global water challenges. In large parts of the world they are already experiencing this water stress, millions of people are trying to survive this terrifying scenario located light years from our reality. The reasons lie mainly in profound climate change, pollution, desertification or population growth.
The UN expects that in 2025, 1.8 billion people will suffer from water scarcity and with it famine, disease and migration.
Each and every one of us, whether as individuals or as workers at Less than 1% of the planet's water is available for human consumption.). Believe it, any small gesture that we practice, both in our homes and in our workplaces, no matter how insignificant it may seem to us, will have an incredibly positive effect, both on those millions of people who depend on us to continue supplying themselves, and on allowing us to continue enjoying our summer dips in the coming years without restrictions.
Don't relegate yourself to the background.
