Gareth O’Brien, ECD at Buck in Sydney: “The videos are an ode to the love of water and all the amazing things it can do.
“The objective is to get people to be mindful of their water usage and to demonstrate different ways for them to make small changes to conserve it during their daily lives in a fun and humorous manner.
“Sydney Water is the government body that overlooks Sydney’s drinking water. Australia is the world’s driest inhabited continent, according to National Geographic. The annual rainfall averages around 18.5 inches a year — well below the global average — and climate change forecasts suggest this figure could be cut in half.”
