Water is life
All living beings of our planet have one important thing in common they need to live, water. 70% of the Earth is water but 97% of the total amount of water are oceans and sea and this water isn´t fit for consumption by people, animals and plants. Just 3% is drinkable water but only 1% is accessible because the other 2% is on glaciers
This is a big problem for all living beings, specially for us. Water is the basis of life. We know this. However, the projects to save drinkable water are not enough. We need big global campaigns. We should stop pollution of rivers or he other places with safe water. We need world awareness.
Projects must be simple but some of them are very expensive. The government has to promote these campaigns and it has to pass laws about them. Factories should have purifying machines installed to prevent wastes from being thrown into rivers.
