NEW YORK, March 23, 2018
NEW YORK, March 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of World Water Day 2018, Colgate is asking people to join their efforts to reduce water waste by turning off the faucet while brushing their teeth. Colgate continues its multi-year campaign to raise awareness of water scarcity and to help preserve this natural resource. As part of the 2018 effort, the brand announced its sponsorship of #RunningDry, an initiative created by water advocate and ultra-runner Mina Guli, who will run 100 marathons in 100 days across six continents to put a spotlight on water challenges around the globe.

Today, 130 million Americans face severe water scarcity for at least one month every year1, yet 42 percent of Americans report leaving the faucet on while brushing their teeth. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nearly four gallons of water can be wasted if the faucet is left running while brushing. By simply turning off the faucet, individuals can make a difference.
Continuing into year three of its global 'Save Water' campaign, Colgate is kicking off this year's program on World Water Day, and continuing its awareness efforts in April for Earth Month and in September for back-to-school. The brand's goal is to bring attention to water scarcity and help save water through activities that include the following:
- Global Ambassador Michael Phelps: Phelps will continue to encourage his millions of social media followers to turn off the faucet, because #EveryDropCounts.
- Times Square Takeover: Colgate will take over select billboards in Times Square from 11:30AM – 2:30PM on World Water Day, showcasing "Save Water" reminders. Mina Guli will also address reporters about the issue of water conservation.
- Water Waste Documentary Series: Colgate is helping produce a series of documentaries featuring Ms. Guli, highlighting water scarcity in the Great Salt Lake; explaining water origins in the Catskills of New York; and presenting innovative solutions to help California's agriculture.
- CNN PSA: A 60-second PSA will air on CNN on March 21 and 22, highlighting the three-part documentary series.
As the global Save Water ambassador, Phelps is excited to welcome Guli in this effort. "Mina and I are record-breaking athletes from two different worlds, one on land and the other in water, coming together for one common cause to conserve one of the earth's most precious resources," Phelps said. "Now more than ever, it's important to ask Americans to change this simple habit in their everyday lives."
Inspired individuals and families can pledge to turn off the faucet at EveryDropCounts.Colgate.com and spread the message of water conservation using #EveryDropCounts this World Water Day and every day.
