There are many little things we can do at home to save money and care the planet. One of them is checking out how we are using the water. This precious resource allows life in most cases. The problem is that’s not infinite.

Even when ¾ parts of our planet are basically water, especially if you live around the Pacific Ocean, the actual fact is that the amount is becoming shorter for almost 8 billion people living in the planet.

For years, different people around the globe have been advocating for a rational use of water. Maybe you can protect the rivers, lakes, or the sea. But, can we do anything in a smaller place like our home?

In 2005, FACTORTIERRA produced an English-content version website called factortierra2, especially created to serve with original contents to audiences in the United States and Europe. One of our topics was covering environmental issues across Piura Department especially at the highlands where a mining project is still proposed – Rio Blanco.

As we working on that, once upon a day we received an intriguing e-mail from a female from North Atlanta, GA. She said she was a high-school student, she was interested in having information about water saving in developing countries like Peru. After interchanging data and impressions, we decided to join the campaign in North Atlanta and Peru, and focusing it in one simple action as turning off the faucet.
