From May 12th to May 16th, we’re calling on every one of you to join forces and show the incredible impact we can have when we come together. Every small action matters, and when we unite, our voices grow stronger, our message reaching more. Each day of the campaign includes three key elements:

• Pledge Post: A downloadable social media graphic featuring the day’s theme and pledge. Available below for participants to download and share.
• Group Power Post: A daily infographic showcasing the collective impact of small actions—highlighting the power of many. Available below for download and sharing.

As climate change intensifies, water efficiency becomes increasingly important – spread the word this Water Saving Week. Increasingly erratic weather patterns, combined with population growth and changes in lifestyle, have led to growing pressure being put on our water supplies. By 2050 there is predicted to be a shortfall of nearly 5 billion litres of water per day between the sustainable water supplies available and the expected demand (source) – if action isn’t taken now. Taking positive action now will make a difference and can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around, for our families, for our businesses and for the environment.

Waterwise started Water Saving Week in 2015 to get the nation talking about saving water, and most importantly, empowering people to take action to save water, at home, at work and in their communities. This year it will run from 13th May to 17th May. Engaging with a range of partners to increase social media and online reach over the course of the week, last year the campaign reached over 3.5million people, with contributors generating over 1.2k social media posts.

We are excited to announce that Waterwise’s annual Water Saving Week campaign will be taking place on May 15th-19th. This year we will be talking about the cost of living crisis and the role of hot water in energy bills and carbon footprint, spreading awareness of issues around water such as the increased stress on water resources resulting from climate change and our habits, and of course we will be sharing knowledge and strategies of what we can do to ensure a water-safe future for ourselves and the following generations.

Hosted by Waterwise, this year’s Water Saving Week highlights the importance of water and how it will affect our future. Each day there will be a specific focus on a compelling reason why saving water is so important. From energy, health, and protecting the natural environment, Water Saving Week will showcase just how important water is and how it affects our everyday lives.
