Envirosax Gives Away Water-Saving Tool For the Holidays |
|
“Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.” Sound familiar? If we don’t preserve our favorite life-sustaining liquid, that classic saying is going to become commonplace - in some areas of the world, it already has! Here are a few modern water facts: * According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the current drought happening on the West Coast of the U.S. is the worst that has occurred in the last 500 years, with water flow levels at close to half those of the drought in the “dirty thirties” of the previous century. * By the mid-1990s, 80 countries (home to 40% of world population) encountered serious water shortages; worst affected are Africa and the Middle East. * By 2025 two-thirds of the world’s people will be facing major water shortages. The Australian makers of my favorite reusable bags, Envirosax, are doing there part to spread the word about our planet’s water issues. For every pouch purchased (featuring 5 durable reusable bags with stylish graphics), you will receive a free shower timer (also available for $3 each) in your choice of four colors: Coral Pink, Oyster Grey, Azure Blue, and Lagoon Green. Taking shorter showers is just one of the many ways those of us in developed countries can save water for others who really need it (and save some money on our water bills). Thanks to Envirosax bags ability to roll up into a package about the size of a piece of sushi, I carry two of them in my purse at all times. Got a car? A pouch full of 5 bags is perfect to keep in your glove box for all types of shopping trips. Of course, it goes without saying that an Envirosax pouch would make a perfect gift for anyone you know (hint hint). Originally posted on victoria-e.com |
