What can I do to Conserve Water?
Water is something that everybody needs in their life. It is a necessity. But what would humans do if all the drinking water in the world disappeared? All human and animal life around the world would vanish as nothing can live without water. Did you know that people can live up to a maximum of three weeks without food but only three days without water? What would you do if I told you that all the freshwater around the globe is disappearing? Naturally, you would freak out as every other person new to this fact. The water is being contaminated due to our own carelessness. Here is an example, you wake up to see that you have a leaking water pipe. You think nothing of it until you realise all the water in your house that was previously there isn’t there anymore. All of this just because of a leaking pipe.
Conserving water is a must if we want to live few years longer (not trying to be depressing, just trying to make a point). All of it either being wasted or contaminated by all of the pollution that we are creating. Almost every student of every school throws all of the leftover water from their water bottles down the drain. If we continue to live like this, it may not end well for the human race. Some people around the world do not care about the conservation of water, in fact they may be some of the people wasting water! To save water we must not pollute the ocean because it wouldn’t only affect us but because it would also kill the ocean population i.e. fishes. We shouldn’t be spilling the water we are about to drink. If you are wondering why people in the past have not wasted water is because they weren’t that sophisticated or evolved as we are now. Nowadays due to the fact that we are rapidly losing freshwater and there is also the highly known outbreak of the coronavirus. Because of this more water is being contaminated so conservation of water is paramount.
The result of saving up water will be a longer life for you and the generations to come. If you do whatever that is written in the text the people of the future will look back and say, ‘We are drinking this water because the people in the past conserved it.’
