How Your Community Can Help Conserve Water
It's no secret that our environment is in a dire state. Look around and you'll see a major ecological movement to "Go Green" and help restore a healthier Earth.
Water conservation is a major part of that ecological movement; as fresh water accounts for only 3 percent of the world's water, and much of that freshwater is frozen in glaciers and icecaps or underneath the ground in soil and aquifers, not available for human use. This leaves less than 1 percent of the world's freshwater available for direct human use.
To say we're at a point where we seriously need to conserve water would be an understatement. Find out what local communities are doing to help conserve water and what you can do in your own home to help out.
