Wasting Water

Have you ever thought about water becoming a scarce resource? I sure have not. I have always thought that water is something that we have plenty of and that there is no thought to it becoming a scarce resource. For the past few years i have been better about my water and the way i use it because my mom said that it was bad to waste water. So when i would brush my teeth, i turnethe water off, i try to take shorter showers, and if i don't finish a water bottle, i use the rest to give to my dog instead of pouring it down the drain. 

Recently, my dad has decided to go totally green and not order any water bottles at all. This has some part to do with the water wasting, and also some part to do with the world and keeping it clean. My dad used to buy water bottles and that would be the only kind of water that we drank, but think about all of those plastic/glass bottles going into the land fill? My dad decided that we were only going to drink tap water. Although some people may think tap water tastes different, it is really the same thing and it helps keep our environment clean. 

Also, when i have been at school, i see people throwing away their water bottle when it was half full! Can you believe this! That is a total waste of water! Someone could use that water to put in their animal's water bowl, or put in a plant so that it can grow, but teenagers don't think of these things so they throw out the bottle whether its empty or not. This needs to definitely change!

How much water o you waste?
