happy earth Day!
When Ben and I first started dating we were walking around a shopping center and someone handled me a postcard. It was about how many people die everyday from lack of access to clean Water.

I held on to it and went home to read more about the cause. because it’s always been a big joke with the people around me that I drink (water) like a fish it really struck a cord with me. I can’t think of what I would do if I couldn’t just turn on the faucet and fill up my 32oz. בקבוק מים!!!
Well, if I lived somewhere without access to clean drinking water I’d have to walk to it. רָחוֹק.
It’s difficult to keep it in perspective because I am a long distance runner and my idea of a long run or walk is skewed. But, I do realize that walking 3.7 miles while carrying water takes a very long time, is exhausting and potentially unsafe.
Complications from lack of access to clean water is the leading cause of illness and death in people worldwide. even when safe drinking water is available, women in Africa and Asia must walk an average of 3.7 miles to and from the nearest improved sanitation facility to collect it
The rotary Club is working on bringing access to clean water to communities like this one in Peru.
A rep from the rotary Club sent me a pedometer to wear all week to track how much I walk and compare it to the trek others around the world have to make everyday to survive.
Not including my run this morning I walked about 2 miles while reading blogs on my phone. בעיות העולם הראשון.
In honor of earth Day the club is giving one RER reader a pedometer. wear it and see how far you walk to fill up your water bottle at work or school in contrast to hiking for hours to fill ‘er up!
To Enter: Leave a comment, any comment.
Open to all residents of Earth, because we all deserve clean water and pedometers. closes Monday at 8am PST.
If you want information on how you can donate to the rotary club you can go here or find a local chapter here.
נ.ב. – I saved that postcard about clean water and mailed it to Ben a few weeks later with the message, “Save water, drink vodka.” That’s my version of a love note.
P.p.s.s. When I was a reporter in Maryland I covered the Water summit in D.C.
