[All] FW: Please join us in Canada's 2nd annual Water Week

Wed Feb 22 14:34:39 EST 2012

Would be interesting to see if we could have an event for this week where people  log their water use for that week. i.e flushed the toilet 5 x day = 30 litres (with 6 litre low volume flushers)  then have some sort of award ceremony and speakers etc to get some perspective on it. 

I’ve probably said this before, but years ago I had a friend from Lebanon. I noticed when he wanted a glass of water, he just filled the glass from the tap and never ran the water until it was cold. I hadn’t realized how wasteful I was until that point. 

Anyone interested in doing this? We could set up a webpage where people could log in their usage, get some big local celebrities to participate. Maybe the Region wants to get involved.

Canada Water Week invites you to "Discover Your Water Footprint"

 <http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/Redirect.aspx?u=501486&q=413167905&lm=39678685&r=334145&qz=457a0d1834418acf503bcbc3ed1ba2fe> Image removed by sender. Discover your water footprint!Did you know that the average Canadian consumes nearly 6,400 litres of water every day? That's more water than my daily 10 minute shower produces in two months!

This got me thinking about my water consumption. I thought of the 8 glasses of water I drink daily, the number of times I flush the toilet, the leaky faucet in my bathroom sink.  

Of course that’s just part of my daily water consumption. Over 90% of the water I consume comes from the choices I make each day in the items I eat, the clothing I wear, and the amount of electricity I use. The water we all consume leaves a footprint, one that can impact our local rivers and lakes, as well as those thousands of kilometres away. For instance, your favourite pair of jeans might have been produced from irrigated cotton fields in the southern United States or even as far away as India!

These days we’re all trying to lessen our impact on the environment by making better choices in our daily lives. That’s why this year’s Canada Water Week theme is "Discover Your Water Footprint."  

>From March 19-25 join with us by hosting an event that will inspire questions and discussion on how we use water in so many aspects of our lives—and what we can do to make our water footprint a little smaller.

La Semaine canadienne de l'eau vous invite à découvrir votre empreinte eau!

 <http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/Redirect.aspx?u=474160&q=413167905&lm=39678685&r=334145&qz=539ec52bc0a7fcbca32290b91b8b4b3d> Image removed by sender. Découvrir votre empreinte eau!Saviez-vous que chaque Canadienne et Canadien consomme en moyenne près de 6400 litres d'eau tous les jours? Cette quantité d'eau est supérieure à toute l'eau qui s'écoule du robinet en deux mois pour ma douche quotidienne de 10 minutes!

Cette constatation m'a fait réfléchir à ma consommation d'eau. J'ai songé aux 8 verres d'eau que je bois tous les jours, au nombre de fois où je tire la chasse d'eau et au robinet qui fuit dans ma salle de bain.

Bien entendu, ce n'est qu'une infime partie de ma consommation quotidienne. Plus de 90 % de l'eau que je consomme provient des choix que je fais chaque jour quant aux aliments que je mange, aux vêtements que je porte et à l'électricité que j'utilise. L'eau que nous consommons laisse toujours une empreinte dont les impacts peuvent se répercuter sur nos rivières et nos lacs locaux aussi bien que sur ceux situés à des milliers de kilomètres d'ici. Par exemple, votre paire de jeans préférée pourrait avoir été fabriquée à partir de coton cultivé dans des champs irrigués près de chez nous, dans le sud des États‑Unis, ou aussi éloignés qu'en Inde!

Ces jours-ci, nous faisons tous des efforts supplémentaires pour réduire notre impact sur l'environnement en faisant des choix plus judicieux au quotidien. C'est pourquoi cette année le thème de la Semaine canadienne de l'eau est « Découvrez votre empreinte eau. »

Du 19 au 25 mars 2012, joignez-vous à nous en organisant un événement qui inspirera des questions et un débat sur la manière dont nous consommons l'eau dans différentes facettes de notre vie – et les moyens que nous pouvons prendre pour réduire quelque peu notre empreinte eau.

About Canada Water Week

Canada Water Week is a week-long celebration of water from coast-to-coast-to-coast, held annually in the third week of March to coincide with UN World Water Day on March 22. Individuals, organizations and governments across the country are encouraged to get involved by organizing or participating in fun and educational events. Together, we can raise the profile and understanding of water. 

À propos de la Semaine canadienne de l’eau

La Semaine canadienne de l’eau est une semaine de célébration de l’eau d’un océan à l’autre qui se tient annuellement à la troisième semaine de mars à coïncider avec la Journée mondiale de l'eau le 22 Mars.
