Why we should celebrate our Oceans today and everyday?
The world’s ocean:
- Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
- Helps feed us
- Regulates our climate
- Cleans the water we drink
- Offers us a pharmacopoeia of potential medicines
- Provides limitless inspiration!
Did you know that 884 million people worldwide live without access to clean water? That’s about three times the population of the United States! Thankfully, organizations and initiatives like Oceana, No Water – No Life, and, World Oceans Day are trying to preserve the Earth’s precious Oceans.
In honor of World Oceans Day, which occurs every year on June 8th, we’re bringing you the top five safe-n-chic bowls in which to serve your dog some of the precious wet stuff. Remember: when you’re shopping for a water bowl for your pet, always look for BPA, lead, and phthalate-free products; stainless steel tends to be the safest bet, but ceramics, glass, and eco-friendly plastics are all responsible options, if you do your research first.
