Plant trees on World Water Day to protect one of the planet's most essential resources. Forests filter rainfall, regulate rivers, and sustain the freshwater systems billions of people depend on every day.
💧 March 22, World Water Day: STIM Tech Group is making a real impact by planting 250 Sterculia Appendiculata trees, offsetting 25,000 kg of CO₂.
To highlight the importance of every drop, the #OneSTIM team is gifting all employees a symbolic water bottle: a small reminder that together we can make a big difference!
22 March is World Water Day, an important global platform for raising awareness about water-related issues and promoting sustainable practices for managing water resources. Each year, the day focuses on a different theme related to water, such as water scarcity, water quality, water governance, or water and climate change.
In addition to raising awareness, World Water Day also serves as a call to action for individuals, governments, and organisations around the world to take concrete steps to promote sustainable management of water resources.
Activities on this day include educational programs, community events, and advocacy campaigns to support access to safe and clean water for all. How to celebrate: * Clean up your local water source by picking up garbage and litter near your local rivers and streams. * Reduce your water footprint by taking shorter showers or turning off the tap when you aren’t using it. * Organise an event to raise awareness. * Collect donations for areas with extreme needs for clean and accessible water. * Watch a water documentary. * Choose recycled goods while grocery shopping. It takes less water and energy to turn materials into recycled goods than to create goods with raw materials
On World Water Day I decided to make more donations to help with projects helping provide clean water around the world; I chose to help in Cambodia and Swaziland using an organisation I like and trust. I've added a video showing the founder of the organisation (he was tragically shot dead last year) explaining how and why he started the organisation!
"Dirty water makes children and their families ill, children are stunted, can have impaired brain development, and die from preventable water-related causes when they do not have access to clean water. And you can help change that! Providing children with clean drinking water is one of the most effective ways to save their life and ensure they develop into healthy adults." Here's one of the projects: https://donorsee.com/trailblazerfoundationwater
Interesting how United Nations established Water Day in 1993, 20 years before they established Forests Day to take place one day before, on the 21st of March.
I'm glad that by planting trees I can directly contribute to the mission of both Forests and Water day, which only shows the power trees have over our environment. 🌎
