During Climate Week NYC, Ecolab is highlighting water-scarcity ignorance and informing people that when it comes to water, Every Drop Counts.

Our installation in Bryant Park highlights how much water goes into the creation of things you enjoy every day and encourages you to think about what your life would be like without water.

Because Every Drop Counts and it takes all of us, corporations and consumers alike, working together, to transform how the world thinks about water.

The Nature Conservancy

As Ecolab highlights the growing problem of water-scarcity, we are acutely aware of the nuance needed when talking about this problem and the part we all play. Our installation in Bryant Park is designed to get people to think about their water usage. It is not lost on us that the installation required water as part of the manufacturing process. We asked you to think about your water usage, so we did the same regarding this exhibition.

We know that Every Drop Counts and that’s why Ecolab has made a contribution of $25,000 to The Nature Conservancy to support their water conservation efforts that benefit local communities and the quality and quantity of New York City’s water.
