Save Water Now Because You Might Not Get A Rainy Day!

In a few years time, water will be an extremely valuable & rare commodity.

Oh, I know that some of you have never had to worry about where your water came from and if it would come. You simply turned on the tap and used water in copious amounts. But at any one time, there will be a drought somewhere in the world. With our climate change or Global Warming, which we are responsible for, the advent of drought seems to increase.

California is one place. A place where the world might take notice of it. Take notice enough to do something about our water wasting way of life. The African continent is used to droughts and once you have been in one, you tend to automatically save water even in the rainy season. Great. We all need to be involved in saving water & our nature.

Collectively we can make a difference to prevent or at least hinder global warming ( at least I think along those lines ). Remember, a collection is made up of one item after the other. I firmly believe that every one of us can help and make a difference. It doesn't matter how small your contribution is. It all helps collectively. Stop thinking along the lines of:

" My bit won't make a difference anymore, so why should I even bother?".
Yes... it... does.

  • Switch off the water tap while you brush your teeth. There is no need to keep the tap running while you do your 2 minutes of brushing.
  • Eat less meat. In The HuffingtonPost Green. there is a great chart on how much water simple foods take to be produced.
  • Re-use / recycle stuff. Don't just rush out to buy new stuff.
  • Buy new clothes only if the old ones are tatty and not just because they might be
    a tad bit last season. It takes gigantic amounts of water to produce each item of clothing and there is also the issue of chemicals used in the production of clothes. Start to think of the consequences when & while you shop.
  • Plant your garden in a way that doesn't need a lot of extra water.
  • here is a link to a Eartheasy website & their tips for saving water.

Life is so precious. Life is fun. Life is good. But without water, life is not fun and we will be lucky to have a life.

Just do one thing different every day. Maybe your aim is to save water or maybe your aim is to counter Global Warming. Please don't stop and remember, Sharing Is Caring. At the bottom are a few Social Media avenues that can give your friends a bit of a nudge.
