Think about this!.. NOW

Yday was World Water Day..& I came across this video while surfing randomly. We do need constant reminders to be on the top of it. Using the resources judicially that is. 

Some of us are lucky today to have full time water supply but how can will we continue to be so??

While I find it almost suffocating to brush my teeth with the tap off, there are millions of ppl walking kilometers every morning to fetch a bucket for their whole day's use.

When I work in the kitchen, almost every min i need to turn the tap and rinse my fingers or this n that.. Its so difficult for me to work with limited supply of water.. it makes me feel for those who get up at 4 in the morning for they get water for an hour at that time and they must collect as much as they can in that one hour only..

They say it won't be long that we will have safe drinking water available.. is that what we want for our future generations?

The sound of gushing water is like oxygen for me. I know my effort to save it is miniscule but every drop will count is what i believe.

Pls join in!
