Fresh Water- Every Drop Counts

We watched a DVD about fresh water as most of you know and I think that it was very interesting and I never knew about how much water we use. I wish that all of this information was given to us when we were younger so that we could have started saving water. We should try to save water when we use the shower or wash dishes. If we end up losing water in the years to come then we will have a hard time trying to live. Water is irreplaceable. It is one of the major things on earth that keep us living.

Quote- "Every Drop Counts."
`What they mean by this is that you should try not to waste it and use it responsively. Most of the fresh water that we have that is fresh water is frozen. This means that if we end up having water issues then we can go to the glaciers for help, but we might end up losing the water from the ice because of Global Warming. Even on farms they are trying to use less water for their crops. Saving water is a big deal even though some people think that they have enough. Most people don’t know that much about water which is why it’s going to waste. The thought that go through some people’s heads could be….. “There is a lot of water in the world who cares” or “Water is every where so why are we worrying about it?” One of the most popular sayings is…. “Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.” This means that there may be water around you but only some is capable of drinking.

Quote- "It's melting away, it's wasting away, I need it, there's no doubt about it."
When they said this i thought about the melting ice caps and all of the people that are wasting the water they have. I know that this is because of global warming and we can help by saving water and recycling it.

Quote- "It's what we've got, it's all, that's it."
This made me think about there is nothing on earth that can replace this. Water is our only chance of survival, if its gone we can spend i few day without it but after that things will turn ugly. If we don't run out of ocean water before fresh water we are still in a delema, we will not be able to survive on salt water because of the germs and bactieria.

  1. Hi Chelsey. I like your saying “Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.” and I think your right when you said that there might still be alot of water in the world, but most of it is not good for drinking. I think you should check the criteria though, because I think you were supposed to include all three quotes, but otherwise, I think you did a good job on this blog.
