Here is how we can do something about the shortage of water resources:
"If you live in a Western land where store shelves are fully stocked and round-the-clock shopping may be possible, it is hard to imagine that there could be a looming shortage of natural resources. Nevertheless, only a minority of earth’s inhabitants enjoy an affluent life-style. Most are locked in a daily struggle for survival. It has been estimated, for example, that more than two billion people live on three dollars a day or less and that two billion have no access to affordable commercial energy services.
Some people blame the trade practices of wealthy nations for the poverty of developing lands. “In a variety of ways,” says Vital Signs 2003, “the world economy is rigged against the interests of the poor.” As more and more people scramble to grab an ever smaller and more costly piece of the environmental “pie,” those who are economically disadvantaged cannot afford to compete for their fair share. That, in turn, leaves more natural resources for those who can afford them—namely, the wealthy."
Every Drop Counts
A few simple steps can conserve gallons of water.
● Repair leaky faucets.
● Keep showers short.
● Turn off the water while shaving or brushing your teeth.
● Reuse bath towels two or three times before laundering.
● Wait until you have a full load of clothes before using a washing machine. (The same principle applies to automatic dishwashers.)
