Ljubljana launched the “Water is Life” initiative to educate residents on the importance of water conservation. The campaign includes media outreach, public events, and collaboration with local schools to teach children about sustainable water use.
One of the core messages of the initiative is about protecting the Ljubljanica River and the local water table, emphasizing how daily habits can directly affect the city’s natural water sources.
The initiative includes workshops for households, teaching residents how to reduce water consumption, use water-efficient appliances, and install rainwater harvesting systems.
Local schools play a key role, as the city collaborates with teachers to incorporate water conservation topics into the curriculum. Students are involved in projects and hands-on learning activities related to sustainable water use.
Ljubljana has been recognized as a Green Capital of Europe, and this initiative supports its broader environmental goals by instilling a culture of responsible water usage within the community. The project helps residents understand the direct impact of their actions on water resources, aligning public awareness with practical conservation measures.
