“Water is the foundation for all life on the planet. Sadly, it only takes a few seconds to pollute water, spoiling it for everyone to use and enjoy,” says Matt McClain, Surfrider Foundation’s Director of Marketing and Communications.
“We created The 3 Second Movie Contest for World Water Day to celebrate clean water and also raise awareness about water quality issues and how they affect us all.”
Founded in 1993 by the United Nations, World Water Day is a global observance that highlights the need for care and management of our world’s water resources.
