Schweizer Umweltschützer finden Unmengen von Plastik im Sand von Anakena
A FOUNDATION TO PRESERVE WATER
A water footprint is a formula that calculates the quantity of water required to manufacture a product. People consume a lot of water for drinking, cooking, washing, but they use even more for the production of food, paper, cotton clothing, etc.
Schweizer Fachleute waren vom 23. Bis 28. Mai auf der
Osterinsel und haben in der Bucht von Anakena Plastikreste in einem Quadrat von
55 x 55 Zentimetern gesammelt.
Das Ergebnis ist erschreckend.
The Race for Water Foundation is a charity based in
Switzerland dedicated to water preservation. Today, this vital resource is in
serious danger. It has to be protected. To learn, share and act on our Water
Footprint and Marine Plastic Pollution are the main issues the Foundation
focuses on.
Together we will preserve water, the most precious resource
on the planet.
A water footprint is a formula that calculates the quantity of water required to manufacture a product. People consume a lot of water for drinking, cooking, washing, but they use even more for the production of food, paper, cotton clothing, etc.
A water footprint is an indicator of the direct and indirect
use of water by a consumer or a manufacturer. The water footprint of an
individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater
needed for the production of goods and services consumed by the individual or
community, or produced by the business.
