Why Conserve?

               Everyday in Malaysia we waste billions of liters of water with no regard to the fact that many people in other countries across the globe, would fight to have the water that we waste. People here do not understand the importance of water conservation . If we had to drink the water that some people have to drink everyday, I think that we would all focus a little more on the water that we all, so remorsefully, waste in our lives.

             We let clean water go down the drain when we rinse our dishes, brush our teeth, wash our hands, and shower .  We waste millions of litress of water from swimming pools by not doing something as simple as putting a cover on them, to keep out the dirt.  We think our vehicles have to be washed and shiny.  Bathtubs have grown to hold an extraordinary amount of water for us to bathe in blissfully.  We flush the toilet constantly, whether it really needs to be flushed or not.  Our gardens and lawns are watered on a regular basis.  Just stop and think for a tad moment on how much we take our readily available clean water for granted.  Think about what it would be like to cook with muddy water.  What would it be like to bathe in this same dirty water?  Now picture having to take your child to a water hole, that you know is probably polluted, to get a drink of the only water that you can find.  For these reasons we all need to step up and make a change!  Starting from today onwards, we need to be more appreciative of our clean water .  Everyday people around planet Earth are dying just because their water is full of disease and pollution.  They are also dying because they have no water at all.  What does it say about us, if we choose to turn away from this water crisis? If we do not change our shameful wasteful habits, this very well could be where we are going to be in the coming years.

Conservation is definitely where we all need to start.  Open your eyes and pay attention to how much water you actually need, and how much water you just wasted.  Stop letting the water run unnecessarily.  Take a short shower instead of a long bath. When you do have to let the water run a bit to get hot, catch the cold water and use it to water your plants.  It is okay if your car is a little dirty. These are just a tiny amount of the things that we can all do to conserve water. Look around you and you will see many more steps that we could all take.


Have you ever wondered what IF we didn't conserve water?

                                              

The water may seem revolting but to them it is better than nothing...

Wasting water should be avoided at all cause!
