Water for life.
Water. The molecule that composes roughly 60% of our body and 70% of the earth’s surface, making it life’s most essential compound. Lack of access to clean water leads to war, starvation, and misery to all living kind. Yet, many of us still take it for granted. Therefore, this week we‘re focusing on this noble cause. So, let’s all stop to appreciate a nice sip of water and get going!
