Cleaning Water all over the world is absolutely essential. Water is the issue of our time, whether we have too much or too little; if it is clean enough to drink, or if we are poisoning the land and marine life with the toxic chemicals and garbage we dump in the water and place on our crops, gardens, and lawns. We need to work on preserving the clean water we have and cleaning up our oceans, rivers, and lakes on a personal, community, national and global level on a daily basis in some capacity. Let’s stop making the problem worse and start making it better!

It can start in the grocery store, by choosing eco-friendly products for washing, etc., and being careful with what you’re throwing down your sink and into the storm sewers. Baby steps will make a difference if enough people around the world are taking them.

Some plastics are breaking down into microplastics, making marine life less healthy and infiltrating our food supply. Microplastics have been found within our bodies, even in newborns. You can also make choices with your wardrobe. Microfibres are doing the same thing as microplastics and choosing natural fibers will help the planet in more ways than one. Pesticides that are ending up in the water system can be replaced with less toxic solutions, such as Neem Oil, an organic insecticide. Fertilizers creep into the water tables and create dead zones creating low-oxygen areas oceans and other waterways, choked by chemicals.

Below are many innovations and solutions at work to help make cleaning water all over the world a reality.
