Clean water is something that most people enjoy drinking. Or at the very least, they prefer it to polluted water. In disaster zones or war zones the need for clean, drinkable water is keenly felt. In Australia we often forget that our water supply will not last forever. In fact, at the current rate of consumption, water will be in scarce supply in only a year! America, your situation is not much better. While water is more available to you, your current rate of consumption for some of your states causes you to use up supplies from one own state while looking for more water in other states. If this trend continues, the earth's water resources will be gone before my generation's grandchildren rear their ugly little heads!
But why stop with water? Australia has a HUGE hole above its head. The ozone is depleting. Why? Because as citizens of earth, we've neglected to be careful with what we were sending off into the sky. We've burned a hole, and we don't even seem to be interested in mending it or at least slowing it down.
My mother once told me that she could not be a conscientious consumer because she didn't have the time to research each and every company she bought from. This is a fair enough statement. I don't think many people have that kind of time. So here is a few little tips (or click here) for you. You can find out what companies are polluting in your areas. You can find out how much they are polluting. Thus, your level of knowledge can increase. But BEWARE with knowledge comes responsibility. Are you ready to become responsible for your own ecological footprint?
