What are some ways to save water?
First of all, say you have a gallon of water. Pour out about a 4th. Then pour half of that in to a cup. That is how much water we have left to drink, bath in, and cook with. You see, the gallon of water is all the water on the Earth. The 4th is the water we can use. But a half of that is frozen. What you have left is not very much!! That is why we need to save water. That is why I am giving you ideas. #1: When you brush your teeth, turn of the water when you are not using it. That saves water!! #2: When you wash your hands put a cup underneath the faucet with the water running out of it and when you are finished sprinkle any plant around the house with this water. Plants love soapy water!!! #3: When you take a shower get yourself wet and then turn of the water. Put soap in your hair and on your body. Turn the water back on and rinse well. Turn the shower of and dry yourself. No dillydallying inbetween steps!! Remember, there could be a point in life when only water can be found in the sparest places, and it would be salty! SAVE THE WATER!! Listen, if you decide to do this and suddenly get stubborn and think that you are the only one doing it, you would be wrong! I am trying, and I'm trying too! I hope you understand how important water is and that we need to save up water, just as some of us need to save money for college. Oh, and one other thing. When it rains outside, maybe you should try leaving cans out for the water to fill up in so that when it stops raining, you will have some extra water to use in your daily actvities!!! SAVE THE WATER!!!

Great post! I'm going to try to be more efficient with the use of water.
Hi, Daisy,
Your convictions are very strong, and I have to admit, I've been selfish in my use of water. I LOVE long showers! I will try to be more mindful of the spare water that I'm wasting. When I lived in CA years ago, there was a horrible drought. I learned then all the steps you are asking us to apply today. Now that you've refreshed my thinking on the reasons to continue to conserve, I will try to be more diligent.
Love you!
