Contamination-Free, Healthy Water For All
Contamination-Free, Healthy Water For All
Our Mission
The mission of Save the Water™ is to conduct research to identify and remove harmful contaminants in water, and to raise public awareness about water contamination and its health impacts.
Although Save the Water™ operates mainly in North America and follows scientific procedures established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the impact of our analytical research and water treatment technology is universally applicable.
OUR HISTORY
In the late 1990s, our co-founder Frank Ramos came across information about cancer-causing chemicals in whales and dolphins. Specifically, he learned two facts: (1) whales and dolphins’ fat tissue contains 1,000 times more man-made, highly toxic chemicals (such as those found in rubber and plastics) than our human tissue; and (2) these creatures are collecting these chemicals through the water in which they live.
Frank and his dear friend Allan founded Save the Water™ in 1999. Together, they spent ten years researching water contamination in the U.S., its extent, and the critical need to solve the problem.
In July 2013, Save the Water™ suffered a devastating loss when Allan passed away after a long battle with cancer. Studies have shown that many cancers are linked to environmental factors such as the water that we drink, including in the United States. Losing Allan reinforced the belief that we must take immediate actions to combat water pollution and continue our mission until we have achieved and sustained our vision: contamination-free, healthy water for all.
We believe that this future is within our grasp. But we need your help to achieve this goal for our children and future generations.
Our Work
Contaminants are present in our water supplies. Our research team works on ensuring that each chemical present in North American waters is identified and its effects documented.
Then, we communicate this information in simple terms and share our knowledge so that every family in the United States and Canada is aware of water pollution’s health impacts.
Our scientists and engineers have designed water treatment technologies to remove dangerous pollutants in water to make water cleaner for our families. Learn more about our technologies, research, and learning resources.
Our Values
We value environmental stewardship through research, communication, community building, and integrity in all our actions. We value our planet and work to protect it for generations to come.
PROTECTING WATER FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
OUR CULTURE
We harness the power of a dynamic team by combining their knowledge and skills to help solve the water pollution crisis.
DIVERSE
We are a diverse group of people from all over the world, from Canada to Fiji, Ireland to Spain, with one common vision: contamination-free, healthy water for all.
CARING
We care as deeply about our communities as we do about our water resources. We understand that we all have responsibilities to juggle. We are proud to be 100% remote, offering our volunteers the freedom to choose when and where they work.
SUPPORTIVE
We foster an open and empowering volunteer environment that allows our volunteers to grow their skill sets and achieve goals both personally and professionally, from taking ownership of their work to collaborating with like-minded individuals.
Join our team and help make a difference. Volunteer from home, enjoy flexible hours, make new friends, and learn new skills.
