If you’re reading this, make sure you look around you and realize
that you’re one of the lucky few people who can easily get water
from the sink without ever having to worry about the lack of clean
water supply. Unfortunately, most of us just take advantage of
the idea that clean water will always be there. The truth is we’re
running out of freshwater supply and it’s evident in so many
regions of this planet already. Millions of people are already
suffering from the lack of access to clean water. It’s terrifying
to think about a future where only billionaires can afford water.
What was once taken for granted will become the most valuable
resource to survive in this ever-changing world.
