Today is all about toilets! Can you imagine how your life would be without one? They are a part of our lives so much, that we don’t even think about their existence.
Unfortunately, that is not the case for more than 3.6 billion people. They lack access to safe sanitation and their lives without a toilet are dirty, dangerous and undignified. Public health greatly depends on the toilets, as well as the improvements in gender equality, education, economics, and the environment. Our sustainable future cannot happen without them!
Each of us will spend around a year of their lives using a toilet, so if you have one, thank it and give it some love!
If you want to know more about how we can use toilets to create more sustainable future, please free to check out some of our research:
