For the entire month of June 2009, Winnipeg's Kevin Freedman challenged himself to live on 25 litres of water per day or less while maintaining cleanliness and staying healthy. With cloth baths instead of showers, washing laundry by hand and reusing the water in the toilet and a toiling through a few other minor inconveniences, he was able to go the entire month using only 575 litres of water for all personal use.
The project was a complete success, having garnered several hundred dollars for UNICEF Manitoba while attracting substantial media attention. This lead the project to be covered by three television stations including two for national broadcast, five radio stations and several newspapers.
The experiment is on again in March, 2010 to coincide with World Water Day on March 22nd. This time he will be taking pledges from people to conserve water as opposed to donating money. As he will live on 25 litres each day for that month, then each pledge will be to limit water use by 25 litres per day for that month. In Winnipeg if 1/4 of the population commits to this we can save 4 million litres per day! That is more than 100 million litres over the month!
Join with Kevin as he takes the project across Canada and around the world to promote water conservation. He is looking for people to challenge themselves and take pledges. contact Kevin at Water_Challenge@yahoo.com or join his facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=85421544276&ref=ts.
