Good morning! 
It’s Thursday, 11 March 2021 (W10/D70/295 rem)
Today is: 
World Plumbing Day 
World Plumbing Day is an initiative by the World Plumbing Council and is celebrated around the world every year on March 11. The day aims to spread awareness of the importance of plumbing and plumbers in protecting public health and improving access to clean water and sanitation facilities.
Plumbing is a major part of our everyday routine such as having a shower, getting a glass of water from a tap, and flushing the toilet. All of these tasks are possible thanks to trained plumbers and advances in plumbing.
World Plumbing Day recognizes the critical link between health and plumbing facilities. Indeed, the bathroom plays a significant role in maintaining our health all around the world. Everybody understands the role of sanitized, plumbing solutions to cut germs in their paths.
Just how many germs live in your bathroom is unclear, but it’s the place where you can find some of the most harmful bacteria, such as bacillus, gram-negative rods, cocci, and gram-positive rods. These different bacteria types are harmful to the human population and can cause a variety of health concerns such, skin infections and pneumonia. Some types are also resistant to antibiotics, which brings a completely new meaning to World Plumbing Day.
There’s a reason why your parents taught you to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. It ensures that you can wash potentially harmful bacteria away. Did you know that if everybody washed their hands after a toilet break, the risk of catching diseases would be almost non-existent? Not that we catch diseases only in the bathroom, but most of our usual stomach bugs, flu, and other infectious viruses could be contained with proper hand washing techniques! It’s the reason that hand washing is so important in the fight against COVID-19.
Make hygiene your top priority on World Plumbing Day. You can teach your kids to always wash their hands. You can also introduce a bathroom routine to keep everything as clean as possible. Changing your hand towel every week is a no-brainer. But also remember to keep your plumbing clean to avoid any contamination! Nobody likes mold patches in the shower, smelly drains, or dripping taps.
Have a top notch, well flushed Thursday!
