There Is No Planet B!

 Climate crisis is here with all its glory. Past couple of years planet Earth keeps breaking temperature records of being the highest each year. We can swim during the supposedly coldest times of winter, and we lack water during summer months. We also know that glaciers are melting, and that there is no season as spring or fall. When we see 17 centigrade during February and we run off to coasts and yet we forget to question this extreme situation. 

We shouldn't forget, neglect or ignore. Climate crisis doesn’t only mean hotter summers or colder winters. Climate crisis brings along lots of other issues and the water crisis is probably the most urgent one. Futurists and people who work in sustainability related sectors can easily guess that water wars between countries are not that far ahead. Are we ready for this? Do we think that we can survive with 25 liters of water per day when only one flush is 15 liters alone? 

 

As Community Engagement Projects we invite you to a self-challenge! What do you really know about the water crisis? Are you aware of the changes you can make in your daily life considering the urgency of the situation? Let’s discover these all together! Come and join us on this 4 days of journey!

 

We’ve created some challenge items for each day and you may see them down below. Keep in mind that we’ll send you an e-mail each morning explaining the details of that day.

  • Watch the documentary called; 25 Liters
  • Calculate your water footprint
  • Shoot a Reels video
  • Join to the live event and chat with Duyarlı ÖzÜ Volunteers about the crisis

 

You are invited to learn more about the water crisis on 22-23-24-25 of March with us. Please fill out the form at the link to sign up for the challenge.
