Every drop counts when it comes to water conservation. Our planet is two-thirds water but only 3% of that is fresh water and less than 1% is fit for us to use. On top of this, much of our freshwater supply is being contaminated by billions of tons of toxic chemicals being dumped into the oceans, lakes, rivers and other natural water sources. These toxic chemicals come from our use of toxic household cleaners, petrochemical based laundry detergents, soaps, shampoos… and this is just in our homes.
