Water, you beautiful!




Hello friends,

What do you think about this view? It’s amazing, isn’t it? Today I’m talking about water, a precious natural resource, which is common to think that we have a lot… but we haven’t.  On the Earth 71% of the surface is water. That is good, isn’t it? BUT 99,4% of this water is undrinkable, because 97% is salty water of the oceans and 2,4% is water from rivers and lagoons, consequently only 0,6% is drinkable. So, as we know, world population is increasing every day and because of this the consumption and waste of water are growing up too, so in a few years we will run out of potable water. We should save water now while we can, to not become like this guy of the picture on the future.



Now, here are some tips that I found on THIS website and can help us to save water:


  • Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain.
  • Water your summer lawns once every three days and your winter lawn once every five days.
  • Wash your pets outdoors, in an area of your lawn that needs water.
  • Reuse leftover water from cooked or steamed foods to start a nutritious soup, it’s one more way to get eight glasses of water a day.
  •  Cook food in as little water as possible. This also helps it retain more nutrients.

They have more than 100 interesting tips and you should go there if you’re interested on do your part to save our world!

That’s it guys, see you later!
