Did You Know?
When you take a bath or shower, your body absorbs as much chlorine as drinking two liters of tap water!
97% of the world's water is salt water. 2% is made up as glacier ice. 1% is fresh water and only a small part of this is drinkable.
Your last drink of water could have one been used by a dinosaur. The water you are drinking now is millions of years old and is constantly recycled through evaporation and condensation.
What goes around comes around! Our drinking water comes from Lake Ontario. Our sewage treatment plants discharge 200 billion liters annually of their water into Lake Ontario!
1 liter of oil can contaminate up to 2 000 000 of water
