My thoughts about the Quotes from the Fresh Water Video

“It’s melting away… It’s wasting away… I need it, there’s no doubt about it” --- I think that it means that we are not conserving water enough… we use water like it is just another thing that can be replenished really easy, well for now it can be… but soon we will be running out and we cant fix that when its gone.

“It’s what we got… it’s all… that’s it” --- Basically it’s the same concept as the last one… Since the glaciers are melting fast and only 3% of all water is fresh we won’t be able to make more real water when it’s all gone… we will have to start recycling it, and nobody wants to do that.

“Every drop counts” --- We use fresh water as a everyday thing without a thought, we use fresh water to water our gardens… we use unneeded amounts of water with long showers without thinking of how much water we use (130-250 L per 10 minute shower)… or how about the fact that with every toilet flush we waste 4 gallons (aprox.)! Even the little things count…like my mom has a rain barrel under the main gutter and rain water collects in it then she uses that to water her garden… Or how about shorten your shower by even a few minutes and it would make a big difference by the end.
