World Water Day – Celebrate with a PUR Water Filter #Giveaway! US ends 3/31

March 22nd, 2013 marks the 20th annual World Water Day, a day that hopes to raise awareness that over 4,000 children in developing countries die every day from illness and disease related to unsafe drinking water. What a sad statistic!! I for one know that I take fresh clean drinking water for granted on a daily basis. Every child deserves clean drinking water, no matter where they live!

Here are some facts about water issues abroad and here in the US, and how PUR Water Filtration Systems are helping the cause:

What’s happening abroad?

·         783 million people in the world do not have access to clean, safe water and almost 2.5 billion do not have access to adequate sanitation. 1.4 million children die every year as a result of diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. This amounts to around 4,000 deaths a day or one every 20 seconds.

 How can we help?

·         PUR products offer a simple way to help provide funding for clean drinking water to those who need it the most. Through an ongoing partnership with Procter & Gamble’s Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, PUR provides funding and resources to donate clean drinking water to children in the developing world.

·         Each purchase of PUR products supports this partnership with the CSDW program, by donating annual funding and resources to provide clean drinking water to these families abroad. You can also visit the PUR Facebook page and donate 10 liters of clean water to those in need with just one click through the Daily Drop program every day! 

·         For additional program details, visit www.PURWater.com or www.CSDW.org.

But what about water here in the US?

·         While access to water and water quality abroad are of international concern, we can’t forget about the quality of the water our families drink everyday.

·         Tap and bottled water may look clean, but water takes a journey before reaching your home. According to research supported by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there may be as many as 16 millionwaterborne illnesses a year associated with drinking water.

·         Americans have the option of an at-home filtration system, such as PUR Water Filters, which are certified to remove more contaminants than any other leading brand. Using an at-home filter ensures you and your family are drinking clean, crisp-tasting water.

    I learned that March 25 is world water day, I didn’t know that! ( I have ADD lol so sometimes I skip stuff in posts), Dr Greg AllGood works with P&G since 2001 and flies all over teaching about purifying safe water for families and children! I didn’t even know P&G did this either 🙂 Thanks!

    I learned that one packet can be used to turn 10 liters into drinkable water. This technology was developed in collaboration with the CDC and is similar to municipal water systems. This really seems like a brilliant idea; it’s so simple for anyone to use and it seems like it would be easy to store and transport as well.
