Waste of Water
Drinking water is water that can be consumed by people and animals that do not have toxic substances without risk of acquiring infection by contamination. The fresh water represents less than three percent of Earth's water, usually possesses a much smaller concentration of minerals. Most of the fresh water on the planet, however, is contained in continental glaciers and polar ice caps. This definition clearly shows that the amount of water available for consumption is not so big. I am living in the United States nearly a month and a half and in that period I am living in Corbin Hall, my college housing. I am really surprised by what I am seeing. I often go to the bathroom and see the shower on without anyone being or using and the tap on, it seems that the water does not in danger of ending. In Brazil people have much more aware of the importance of water, sometimes because in some parts of the country there is a lack of water. Some big cities from Brazil like Sao Paulo are suffering with rationing water. It is an nonsense a developed country like the United States take that kind of attitude. I hope that through my example for as long as I live here and with some encouragement from the American government, people are aware that water is a very important asset that needs to be preserved, and preserve not stop using it, is to use only the necessary.
