Water as Luxury

Scott Harrison was a party guy who used to earn 4000 dollars/month to go clubbing. After travelling around in Africa as a photographer he created charity: water that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Kind of making you realise how important water is!

If you don't have time to watch the whole thing (16 minutes) at least watch the first 4 minutes - it is a good informative clip!



Fun facts:

It takes about 6800 litres of water to produce enough cotton for ONE pair of jeans.

200 litres of water for ONE latte to-go (production of the cup, sugar, plastic lid, the spoon...)

Close to 2000 litres of water for ONE car tire.


The clip reminds me of a Swedish commercial some years ago that made people ANGRY!
