Slogan: You are what you Drink !!!
- _Over 75% of the Earth is covered in water, but most of this is salt water. In fact 97% of all the water on Earth is salt water. The other percentage is freshwater, 2% of this is found in frozen glaciers near the poles. That leaves the other 1% of freshwater that is on the Earth.
