There’s a common belief that we should avoid drinking water before bed so we don’t have to get up during the night. And sure, no one likes a disrupted sleep.
But if we dig a little deeper, especially into what happens inside the body, a different picture starts to emerge.
This week, the Australian government released updated health guidelines on PFAS — the “forever chemicals” that have quietly been making their way into our water, our soil, and even our bloodstreams.
If your home relies on untreated tap water, here’s what may be coming through the steam.
If you’re relying on untreated tap water for your drinking, cooking, or even showering, it’s worth asking:
What’s actually in it? And what’s getting into you?
For years, many Australians have assumed their tap water is safe. But in light of two major news investigations — one by Channel 7 News and another by ABC News — that belief is being shaken.
Two recent investigations by Channel 7 and ABC News have brought a long-buried national health issue into the spotlight: PFAS chemicals are contaminating drinking water across Australia — and have been for more than three decades.
What if the water you and your family drink, cook with, shower in, and bathe your children in carries more than just H₂O — and no one’s ever told you?
We created The Do Good Project because we believe that every home we help in Australia should help someone else, somewhere else, access one of life’s most essential needs: safe water.
Most people think of drinking water when they hear the word “contamination.” But the truth is, your shower might be one of the most consistent ways your body comes into contact with unwanted chemicals — especially if you’re using untreated tap water.
