Water is the most valuable resource on this planet. Although most of the planet is covered in water, most of it is not for human consumption. The worlds population is rising, leading to a shortfall in drinkable water. The United Kingdom issues hose pipe bans across the country during hot weather to preserve water supplies. Fresh drinking water tables below the land are shrinking every year.

In most major cities, 90 of water from the faucet is recycled. Without recycling water, the human race would already be on the brink of extinction. Reducing water consumption at home will reduce the average water bill and help save precious water supplies. Leaving the tap running whilst brushing teeth wastes an average of 5 litres each time. Some families only flush the toilet after a few hours and not each time a person urinates.

Mankind has for centuries taken for granted the oceans, rivers and lakes by dumping their trash into them. River and lake polluion is at an all time high. Plastic takes years to biodegrade and releases harmfull chemicals into the environment. The oceans are full of radioactive waste as well as oil and other potentiall hazardous manmade chemicals. Mankind must learn the error of their ways before it is to late.
