Save Lives by Drinking People Water

The consequences of the lack of clean water trickles down, negatively affecting everything from health to economic opportunity and access to education. Women and girls spend up to six hours a day collecting water; that’s almost a full school day. Every 90 seconds a child dies of a water-related illness, which is entirely preventable. People Water decided to help.

The for-profit company created a simple but powerful business model: every time you drink a bottle of People Water, your purchase provides the same amount of water to places in need around the world. They call it the Drop For Drop initiative.

Even so, the streamer has managed to build a subscriber base in part by investing heavily in quality shows, and specifically in quality shows with a sci-fi twist.

Severance is one of the best shows on television, and it seems like a guarantee that it will be heavily awarded at the next Emmy ceremony. Severance is one of my favorite shows, too, but it's far from the only sci-fi series on Apple. We've pulled together a list of the best shows available over there if you're looking for great science fiction:"
