The founding of Save the Water™ is a lifelong dream realized. The many years of working with and surrounded by chemicals and industry opened my eyes to the pollution that generations since the industrial age have caused and continue to inflict on the planet and ourselves. The Save the Water™ cause is fitting and gives me purpose in that I can give back the knowledge acquired in the chemical industry to a worthy lifesaving charity. Thus, Save the Water™ is born with the hard work and dedication of its founders.
