Don't Waste It

You hear about it in the news, you learn about it in school, but is saving water and reducing our usage of it actually important? The answer is, yes. Did you know that only 1% of all the water on Earth is drinkable? We should be extremely grateful to be able to access it, and should preserve water as we not only need it to survive, but it also gives future generations an opportunity to thrive and it's essential for the environment. 

My first reason for why we should use water efficiently and not waste it, is because we need water to remain alive and would quickly die without it. By wasting water, we are wasting a crucial resource that is necessary for survival! For example, millions of people in the world are currently suffering sickness and death due to a lack of water. This is because it is becoming a scarce resource. In some countries, people have to go to unimaginable lengths to be able to obtain water for sustaining their life. Many times, this water isn't even clean, and can pass on fatal diseases to them. There is an immense chance this will soon happen to other countries, as most of the world's water is being used up. This is why we should be grateful that we can access water, and we should reduce our consumption of it by not wasting it. 

My second reason why we shouldn't waste water is that if we waste it all now, future generations won't have it to survive. They will only get the world in the condition we leave it in, and if we leave it in a condition without water, they will die out and the human race will end. For example, the world is already running out of water, and many children these days, born in poorer countries, are dying out due to having no water. If this is the condition now, imagine what will happen in a few decades time. Nobody will have a fair chance to live like we do currently. For this reason, we should stop wasting water, and ensure that generations after us do not die out due to dehydration. 

Lastly, water is essential for the environment. If we limit our usage of water by not wasting it, the flora and fauna on Earth will be able to thrive. Just like humans, they also need it to remain alive, and we need them to remain alive. If plants die out due to having no water, so will we because of a lack of oxygen. This means that the entire eco-system on Earth relies on water, including us, plants and animals. Therefore, if we limit our unnecessary consumption of water we will be able to keep the environment alive. The less we consume, the less pollution we create, the more beneficial it is to our Earth. This is why we shouldn't waste water and use it wisely, providing relief to everything around us.

In summary, these are three important reasons why we shouldn't waste water. It saves the environment, provides future generations with a chance to thrive and is vital for our survival. So go out today, and start making a change in the world by saving water, and all of Earth.
