Water

Water seems like such a trivial thing to us. We use it everyday and never wonder where it comes from. We use it as if it was nothing and can be very wasteful with it. Around the world there is a different story. Only 8% of water consumption is recreational use by humans.Unknown to us, people struggle with water and have to go to great lengths to get it. This is a significant problem in the world that has yet to be solved. Although many people call for a solution little provide any solutions at all. Lack of toilets is also an issue as sometimes whole villages do not even have a single toilet. They are forced to go to forests or designated areas to go the bathroom. An eye opening revelation to those who have never imagined what its like without a bathroom.

There are little things that everyone can do in order to help the water situation. While this may not solve the entire problem it will aid the process. Little things such as turning off the water while brushing your teeth, shampooing your hair, and shaving will significantly improve the situation if everyone does it. While this may not be a huge step it is indeed a step and all help is useful.
