World Water Day - 22 March 2009
'Experts the world over agree that water scarcity might be one of the biggest global problems in the future'
Press release - Veg Climate Alliance
March 22 is World Water Day. Experts the world over agree that water scarcity might be one of the biggest global problems in the future. Climate change only adds to the problem. According to FAO, by 2025, 1.800 million people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions. All the more reason to focus on one of the main causes of water use and water pollution: our insatiable - and still growing - desire for.... meat.
The comparison is mind boggling: one kilogram of beef requires as much water as showering every day for an entire year. How is that possible?
