The Human Right to Water - its in Our Hands

An animation to raise awareness of the role we play in the water crisis.

In the globally interconnected world we now live in, our actions as consumers have far reaching effects of which we are often unaware.
It is imperative that we understand the issues involved and acknowledge our power to enable access to this increasingly scarce resource; safe water.

How does a filter work into this, like a Brita pitcher filled with water from the tap?

Overall I really love this video and think you did an awesome job, but I am curious about filtered water. I live in an apartment in a very old building and supposedly run a risk with the old pipes and drinking the water unfiltered. This clip definitely made me think twice whenever I used to go for bottled water though!

hello, thanks for your comment.

A water filter is a great alternative, after all lots of bottled water is merely filtered tap water!

It means you are using your public water source and not supporting the commodification of water.

One filter can be used many, many times so the manifacturing costs and use of plastic is minimal compared to the amount used for every plastic bottle.

Cheers, Isobel

Beautiful video Isobel!

I really like how you end with identifying the need to promote tap water and public water infrastructure. Any plans for a follow up video?
