Finally, here at S’well, we think water crisis has a third meaning, evoking the waste in our planet’s beautiful waterways. It is a crisis to have all this plastic mess in our oceans and waterways. This stunning photo is 2 million plastic bottles, or the number of plastic bottles discarded every five minutes in the US alone! Yuck. As a Floridian and ocean lover, this mess simply breaks my heart.

So, this World Water Day, I encourage you to give thanks for the clean fresh water we have access to. I encourage you to learn more about the global water crisis and what you can do to help others to have access to this basic human right. And, let’s all try to make simple everyday adjustments to help conserve this precious resource, in every way we can.
