“World Toilet Day is about the 2.4 billion people who lack access to improved sanitation. It is about the nearly 1 billion people who have to defecate in the open. It is about the millions of children whose futures are compromised by poor sanitation and related nutrition problems. And it is about you, who can’t wait to change this situation.” – WorldToiletDay.org

November 19th is World Toilet Day. Did you know that the rainwater collected from rain barrels can be used to flush your toilet! How cool is that?

The video below is a couple years old, but it is still one of our favourites. Matt Damon knows that the toilet is the greatest invention that has saved more lives than any other in the history of humankind. The use of rain barrels contributes to the goals of clean water in our world and better sanitation for all.

In November 2008 The Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF) embarked on a mission to help create empathy in their community. Out of a strategic planning session came the idea of a day in which thousands of people would be involved in an initiative where kindness could explode in their community.

After a successful year with Random Acts of Kindness Day, the KWCF decided to spread the kindness and get other Community Foundations involved.  The idea to “go national” has had a ripple effect, seeing over 250 communities across Canada to date celebrating kindness.

With The KWCF’s focus on creating a more empathetic and connected community, Random Act of Kindness Day® was born.  And the rest, as they say, is history.
