#RunningDry
100 Marathons | 100 Days | 1 Reason
WATER
Starting at the New York City Marathon on 4 November 2018 and ending on 11 February 2019, #RunningDry was a call to each of us to save water and to join together to change the way that we all use, consume and think about this precious resource. After 62 marathons in 62 days, Mina ran so hard she broke her leg. But that didn’t stop the #RunningDry movement - it made it stronger.
THE REASON
Our planet’s water resources are under extreme stress. Experts predict that by 2030 our demand for water will be 40% greater than the supplies available. We are literally #RunningDry.
We can’t continue like this. We owe the next generation a better planet. We need to act: now.
THE MESSAGE
Each one of us has the power to help solve our world’s water crisis. Whether it’s turning off the tap when we brush our teeth, reducing our food waste, or innovating new ways to save water, every action matters and every drop counts. Individually we can make an impact. Together we can change the world.
THE AIM
We want to make saving water famous. To create a global community of water-conscious citizens who care about water, and are willing to act to avert the global water crisis.
We need to make saving water not just the right thing to do, but the only thing to do.
