Knorr Educates Consumers on “Saving Hidden Water” in Food

When people think about conserving water at home, they probably first think of turning off the faucet when brushing their teeth or perhaps taking a "navy shower" to reduce personal water usage, but it's not likely that what's for dinner would be top of mind. Yet, the impact of what is on our plates is dramatic. In fact, 92 percent of consumers' water footprint is a result of the water used to produce the food they eat. Now, one company is educating consumers on this fact in a new behavior change campaign, while highlighting its own commitment to conserving water.

Ode to Living on Campus by a Member of Generation Z

I represent Generation Z, a generation that spent our childhood taking care of virtual pets on Neopets and playing Pokémon Yellow on a Gameboy. We made Facebook accounts in middle school, as Facebook Memories likes to continuously remind us. We watched our parents cry during the terror attacks on the World Trade Center. We experienced “The Great Recession” firsthand. We saw millions of gallons of oil pour into the Gulf of Mexico. We witnessed our siblings terrified to go to school the day after the Columbine Shooting.
