UN World Water Day today!

Today is a special day for all of us water drinkers!

There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. This means that 70% more food will be needed, up to 100% in developing countries.

There are so many interesting facts to read and consider on the World Water Day website.

This is not just about water conservation in the shower!

The more we are educated on what is really going on, the more power we have to change.  For example, did you know about 30% of the food produced worldwide is never eaten and the water used to produce it is definitively lost!  If we don’t waste food, we can save water!

Designer, Ben Blakebrough from Blakebrough + King, is a supercycler and designed this cool stool with this in mind!

Natural Grain Kite Stool – can be made from any grass or grain you choose.

Cold pressed straw, wheat, rice.

A sustainable, biodegradable, edible chair.

It’s little things that make a meaningful difference.  Share this with your families and let’s create a generation of water savers!

At the moment, I'm busy creating courses. My day job as a learning designer keeps me in the creation zone and I really enjoy the creativity it brings. When you create a course, you have to think about the objectives as well as the best way to deliver the information....

Having embraced my unique approach to life, I will continue doing things my way without expectations of what success 'should' look like. I've always done things in all aspects of my life because it 'feels' right (for me). As I share in my memoir, I went through a lot...
