Aveda and Global Greengrants Fund are partnering for clean water worldwide again in 2011.
One Goal, Many Solutions
From South America to Siberia, every person, everywhere, deserves access to clean water. Global Greengrants Fund understands that defending and improving access to the world's most precious resource takes many forms.
Take Action
Support Organic Farming. Runoff from conventional farming contains nutriens and pesticides that pollute the fresh water supplies into which they empty. In many places this is the largest source of water pollution. Organic farming is healthier to our water supply.
Conserve Electricity. Every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of traditional electricity that we use takes about 2 gallons of fresh water to make. Conserving electricity- and opting for renewable energy- saves water, too.
Over $3 Million Raised for Global Greengrants Fund. Thanks to your support!
Since 2007, the proceeds from Light the Way Candles have helped:
- 500 watersheds protected
- 2,700 women trained in environmental and watershed management
- 50,000 acres converted to sustainable, organic agriculture
- 275 communities taking action against toxic industrial pollution
- 4,000 people benefiting from wells and water infrastructure
Lighting the Way to Clean Water
100% of the purchase price of Aveda Light the Way Candles goes to support Global Greengrants Fund's clean water projects, including some in countries where Aveda source their ingredients. Thanks to this and the Aveda fundraisers an invaluble impact has been made on communities worldwide. Making clean, accessible water a realty for tes of thousands.
