Take small steps to conserve water
Almost every living thing on this planet needs water, including the more than six and a half billion humans. The only problem is that we use and waste water at such a high rate that our surface and groundwater sources can’t replenish themselves. Out of all the water on Earth only 2.5 percent is fresh potable water. And less than 1 percent of the world’s fresh water is accessible, leaving a mere 0.5 percent as fresh water we can use. This leaves us with a resource that is perceived as unlimited but is quickly decreasing by greed and misuse.
There are one billion people on the planet that don’t have access to safe clean drinking water. Thousands of people in developing and underdeveloped countries die each week because of dirty-water-related illness. What would you do if there weren’t drinkable water coming out of your sink or stocked in your grocery store? You have access to as much clean water as you could ever possibly want just gushing out of your sinks tap. This is a luxury and people treat it as commodity they deserve.
When people think and act as if water is an unlimited resource they end up wasting more than they should. Eventually we are going to run our aquifers and surface waters dry, and there will be nothing anyone can do to find new sources of potable water. If people think gasoline is expensive, they’re in a world of surprise when a gallon of water starts to cost more than $20. This isn’t an “Oh, this will only happen thousands of years from now, I don’t need to worry about it” issue. This will affect your grandchildren and their children. The depletion of water is happening right now, and it is not stopping.
