Reasons to attend the Water Festival
More than one third of the world is without adequate water. That's 2 billion people. We're expected to reach 4 billion in just twenty years! Since the onslaught of the Industrial Revolution, water quality standards have dropped drastically worldwide. Water is for sale. And the people are buying. Water was referred to as "the oil of the 21st century" by Forbes magazine. The Great Lakes basin represents 21% of the world's fresh water supply! Roughly 60% of the human body is water. (The brain is composed of 70 percent water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83 percent of our blood is water, which helps digest our food, transport waste, and control body temperature). You feel like dancing. You feel like swimming. You feel like getting better. You want to stand up and claim this world and do your part! |
