Water is vital to us all, so everyone needs to save water!
🥪Reduce your food waste. It takes a lot of water to produce food & to get it from the field to our plate.
Lost & wasted food also means wasted water.
Every drop counts. Your actions, big or small, can make a difference

Last year, I was lucky to join @kdarke on the #poleofpossibility expedition across #antarctica. As the Antarctic season starts again, I reminisce on our adventure in this @ipbes 'Nature insights' podcast. The trip was made possible with the assistance of @Antarctic_ALE
Really excited that @IPBES created a podcast where @karendarke and I reflect on our Antarctic expedition and why it is such a special place.
