Team sportify and The Polite Foundation comes up with yet another social awareness and fitness event after the huge success of Polite-O-thon ( Green and Clean Pune initiative ) to spread the word about Water scarcity and water pollution.

The water crisis is a huge problem and we feel the actual heat of the problem in Summer. We face draught like situations every year and apart from crying about the water crisis we don’t do anything to see a better future.

 It's not just water crisis, water pollution has hit us high time. Our water reserviours stink badly. Do our governments have a roadmap to ensure that we all get ample and healthy water supply in our taps? Or we are just waiting to see the worst to happen? With the advent of industrialisation the water pollution saga began and we don't seem to imagine an end to it. Are we going to continue to pollute every drop of water and end our own race and hence the life on earth?

The Sportify and The Polite Foundation organized, H2O run aims to create awareness about the water crisis and pollution, What’s causing it? What are its effects on us and the mother earth? Can we avoid it? Can we do anything? We are drilling earth deeper to fetch the water as we need, are we doing enough to refill it  If we are, then, are we filling it up with unpolluted water? 

Out of 100% water on earth, we only have ~2.5% for potable use and preserved as Ground water, Lakes, Wells and Rivers. The rest is stored in Oceans, Seas & Bays, Ice caps, Glaciers & Permanent Snow, Soil Moisture, Ground Ice & Permafrost, Atmosphere and Swamp Water.

By polluting our rivers, lakes and ground water, we are destroying our future.

It’s a serious problem and we must act now if at all we want our future generations to live happy and healthy.

 Let's enlighten ourselves this EARTH DAY, 22nd April 2018.

 Let’s run for our better future, let’s act now.

 As part of event we are raising funds for NGO's which have done commendable work in the fields of water conservation and finding long term solution for the scarcity of the water.
