The amount of litres will be made available as clean drinking water in developing countries. We call that mirroring, instead of compensating. Let&#8217;s dive into our reasoning for this.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" 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 is-image-fill\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" id=\"spiegelen-niet-compenseren\">Mirroring instead of compensating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">We have deliberately opted not to use the term &#8216;water compensation&#8217; as we believe it draws too many parallels with the concept of &#8216;CO<sub>2<\/sub> compensation&#8217;, which is fundamentally different. Unlike CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions, which can be compensated by reducing CO<sub>2<\/sub> levels elsewhere within the same global atmosphere, water usage and replenishment are localized, making the concept of &#8216;water compensation&#8217; imprecise and potentially misleading<sub>.<\/sub>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Water works differently. The term &#8220;mirroring&#8221; is used to convey that providing clean water to developing nations does not equate to offsetting one&#8217;s own water consumption. Fundamentally, donating water to underserved regions does not replenish the water an individual has personally utilized. That is why we avoid the term \u201ccompensation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">In addition, we also think that compensation sounds a bit like doing penance for something bad, while a contribution to clean drinking water is always a good thing &#8211; and even better if it is linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/waarom-water-besparen\/\">water conservation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-1024x683.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14698 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-45.jpg 1600w\" 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 is-image-fill\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-1024x683.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11405 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/075-landscape-200x133.jpg 200w\" 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\" id=\"waarom-zou-je-spiegelen\">Why mirror your water use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Why would you consider giving back the amount of water used or saved by donating an equal amount of clean water to developing countries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We can think of 703,000,000 reasons!
