Did you know that March 22nd is World Water Day? I know what you're thinking -- what's next, National Pond Slime Week -- but, raising 4 children, our house uses a lot of water and, truth be told, we're probably wasting a lot more, than the average family, too.
Here are some quick (and easy) tips to help families (like mine) save water:
- Reduce your shower time by two minutes – save up to 150,000 gallons of water per month
- Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth – save 25 gallons of water per month
- Defrost food in the fridge instead of under running water – reduce water inefficiency and increase food safety
- Run your dishwasher and washing machine only when they’re full – save up to 1,000 gallons of water per month
Seriously, it's that simple.
One of my favorite brands is helping, too -- Crystal Light will give to The Nature Conservancy 100 percent of net profits from Crystal Light powdered drink mix products sold that day – no less than $350,000 and up to $750,000.
The funds will support the river and lake projects across the U.S., including: the Colorado River, Great Lakes Basin, Meramec River (part of the Mississippi river), Potomac River and Southern Rivers.
But, wait, there's more -- wanna see Sheryl Crow?
In honor of World Water Day on March 22, Crystal Light is also offering fans an unforgettable experience:
A one-night-only, World Water Day Celebration Concert with internationally acclaimed recording artist and nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
Why?
100 percent of the ticket price will go to The Nature Conservancy.
Seriously, that's just all sorts of AWESOME!

No, really, why should you?
Because nice matters, but taking our Earth's natural resources for granted sucks wet poodle!
