By making clean drinking water available, this is no longer necessary and therefore much less wood or coal is burned, which saves a lot of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions and harmful smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the IRC calculated that a ceramic water filter produces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ircwash.org\/blog\/carbon-finance-unlocking-investments-safe-water\">1.03 tons<\/a> of CO2 per year per filter. Conservatively calculated with 10 users per filter and the UN figure that 1 person needs at least 20 liters of water per day, the filter is good for 73,000 liters per year. This means that 1 million litres of clean drinking water in rural areas results in a CO<sub>2<\/sub> saving of 13.74 tons. Half of our projects are in rural areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">SAVING TREES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climateneutralgroup.com\/nieuws\/wat-is-1-ton-co2\/\">tree<\/a> must grow for a year to capture 20kg. According to our previous calculation, 1,000 litres of water captures 7kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub>. You could say that it also saves <sup>1<\/sup>\/<sub>3<\/sub> of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">But not in all cases wood (coal) is used as fuel for boiling water: it can also be biomass or another (carbon) fuel. That is why we calculate with a factor of 50%. This means that 1,000 litres of water can be saved for up to 0.15 trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Calculated differently, a donation of 6,666.67 litres is needed to protect a tree, or \u20ac2.00. Did you know that this is a lot cheaper than saving trees as a form of CO<sub>2<\/sub> offsetting?<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10241 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20170429_073200-200x113.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"statistics-block_8e43d38d872aa26d2e6de2b8429a1e1a\" class=\"wp-block statistics\">\n    <div class=\"blue-white-blocks\">\n        <div class=\"row  small-up-1 medium-up-2 xlarge-up-4 columns-4\">\n                                                <div class=\"column  \">\n                        <div>\n                                                        <h4> <span class=\"counter\">1.000<\/span> litres<\/h4>\n                            <p>of drinking water in developing countries<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"column  \">\n                        <div>\n                                                        <h4>+ <span class=\"counter\">7<\/span> kgs<\/h4>\n                            <p>of CO2-emissions prevented <\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"column  \">\n                        <div>\n                                                        <h4>+ <span class=\"counter\">500<\/span> <\/h4>\n                            <p>plastic bottles or bags saved<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"column  \">\n                        <div>\n                                                        <h4> <span class=\"counter\">0,15<\/span> Trees<\/h4>\n                            <p>saved<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:110px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">plastic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Our water projects prevent lots of plastic waste in developing countries as well. In urban slum areas, people tend to buy small quantities of clean water, packed in plastic bottles or small plastic bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">In many cases, this plastic ends up on the streets and in rivers after use, eventually becoming part of the plastic soup. Direct access to clean water in slum areas is a direct contribution to diminishing use of plastic packaging and thus plastic waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Every litre of clean water generated prevents a plastic bottle of water or bag being tossed. As about 50% of our work is done in urban slum areas and most bottled water is distributed in even smaller plastic packaging, we account for 1,000 litres saving about 500 pieces of plastic waste. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11035 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-1-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-7-1.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13867 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14-200x131.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-14.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">the most expensive water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You&#8217;d say it takes a lot of money to make all this work.
