🌍💧 The Essential Need for Clean Water 💧🌍 Access to clean water is not just a necessity, it's a fundamental human right. Today, over 2 billion people worldwide still lack safe drinking water, highlighting a critical global issue that impacts health, education, and economic stability. Clean water is vital for life. It supports communities by preventing disease, enabling education (especially for young girls), and fostering economic growth. When we invest in clean water infrastructure, we invest in the future of humanity. Yet, the struggle for clean water continues. Climate change, pollution, and inadequate infrastructure exacerbate this crisis. It's up to all of us – governments, businesses, and individuals – to take action. Sustainable solutions and collaborative efforts can make clean water accessible to everyone. Let's champion clean water initiatives and support organizations dedicated to this cause. Together, we can turn the tide and ensure that every person has access to this basic human need. 💙🌊 #CleanWater #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalHealth #WaterForAll https://lnkd.in/dvfYErBp

🌵 Cacto is passionate about reducing water deprivation. We are proud to support the inspiring work of Water.org 🚰 that help families around the world get access to safe water and sanitation. Prickly pears have evolved in arid climates consuming small amounts of rainwater. Approximately 42% of the world’s land area is classified as semi-arid or arid land. In fact, research, which took place in Logandale, Nevada, ‘Showed that Opuntia Ficus-indica (Prickly Pear) had high fruit production while using up to 80% less water than some traditional crops. Additionally, the plant works as a land-based carbon sink, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to store it in a sustainable way.’ (Nevada Today, 2021). Inspired by our core ingredient and the heart of our business, we will donate 5% of our Net Profits to Water.org. to provide safe water and sanitation to families around the world. 🌍 Discover more about how we can help: https://lnkd.in/dZpJcgX

🌊 Join the Movement for World Water Day! 🌍 If you haven't already heard, today is World Water Day. This day aims to raise awareness of the importance of water and the need to conserve it. Every drop saved today will benefit future generations and provide clean drinking water for those who currently lack access to it. Here are five key insights: 1️⃣ Estimated 780 million people lack clean water. Nearly a billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. It's time to address this fundamental injustice. 2️⃣ Infrastructure in crisis: ageing water systems demand immediate attention. From pipes to dams, we must invest in modernisation to secure our water future. 3️⃣ Rising global demand: Population growth and changing lifestyles are driving water demand to unprecedented levels. Sustainable solutions are imperative. 4️⃣ Projected shortages by 2050: Without intervention, a quarter of the world could face water scarcity by 2050. We must act now to avert this crisis. 5️⃣ Human toll: Tragically, every minute, a newborn succumbs to water-related infections. This is a preventable and just disheartening situation to hear. Amidst these challenges, one organisation is helping to solve them and I also believe in there cause – Planet Water Foundation shines as a beacon of hope. They've impacted millions by providing clean water across 28 countries. 🤝 How can you also help?

Our Fall 2024 Impact From July to September, we’ve made tremendous strides in fighting food insecurity and reducing food waste with your support. Together, we have: 🥘 Recovered 36,292 meals for families in need 🌍 Saved 213,846 pounds of CO2 equivalent emissions That’s a +27% increase compared to the previous quarter! 🎉 These numbers reflect our ongoing commitment to tackling food insecurity while making a positive impact on the environment. Every surplus meal recovered helps nourish a family in need and reduces harmful emissions, contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future. 💚 This success wouldn’t be possible without the invaluable support of our food donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the collaboration of our nonprofit partners. Through the efforts of the entire community, we are driving change, one meal at a time. Let’s continue this journey and keep making a difference for our environment and the families we serve.

There is no sense in arguing if any one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are more important to address than another. There are times, however, when one is exposed to an issue where the urgency to address a particular goal becomes extremely acute. Sustainable Development Goal 6 seeks to ensure access to water and sanitation for all. Safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is fundamental for health and wellbeing including (but not limited to) improving health, enabling gender quality and increasing access to education. Water is essential and cannot be taken for granted. At the African Potential Group we fully support water.org and its efforts to unlock more funding to solve our planet’s water crisis.

On this #WisdomWednesday, let’s explore the ripple effect of food rescue. 🌊🍽️ When we rescue surplus food, the impact goes beyond just feeding those in need. Here’s how: Environmental Benefits: Reducing food waste decreases greenhouse gas emissions and conserves resources used in food production. Economic Savings: Donating surplus food can save businesses money on disposal costs and provide tax benefits. Community Strengthening: Food rescue fosters a sense of community, bringing people together to support a common cause. Every meal we rescue creates a positive chain reaction that benefits our entire community. Join us in amplifying this impact by supporting Feeding Charlotte. Together, we can make waves of change! 💚 #FeedingCharlotte #FoodRescue #EndHunger #CommunityImpact #WisdomWednesday
