WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU KNEW WHAT I KNOW?
The journey of change can be slow—individually, let alone globally. For water scarcity, change has barely even begun. We are uncovering the truth that water shortages and shifting patterns will change life on Earth.
DAY ZERO’s primary purpose is to create a defining moment where change begins. A moment we didn’t know that we were desperate for. Challenging us all to wake up and be moved to take action before the water runs out.
