Yes, that colorless thing which begins its life those neat cute Evian or Fiji water bottles (the bourgeois water) or the more proletarian Aqaufinas or Dasanis. Wasted senselessly by ignorant people all over the world. What, you ask me, can I do stop this ? How do I ensure that future generations can enjoy the peaceful sight of a full Evian bottle as we do today (that is if you have $3 to burn on a bottle of weird tasting water).
First understand the fundamental causes that cause this problem:
- Washing. Huge amounts of water is wasted in washing dishes. The optimal solution is to not wash plates and use unclean cutlery, but if this seems to radical for you stick to plastic plates. This also has another significant advantage that we shall see later (refer to factories). In the same vein, avoid laundry and bathing. Look at the nature .. Do you ever see a beautiful tantalizing mosquito taking a bath in a tiny bathtub or shower? No ... only hippopotamuses splash around like .... like deranged hippos. So the next time you take a bath, ask yourself, Are you a hippo ? Don't you want to become like the regal mosquito instead ... ask your conscience.
- Trees. Trees are evil. If you don't believe me look at the photo.. your eyes cant lie ! These innocent looking sticks consume millions of gallons of water every day ! When you wake up in the morning remember to do your good deed for the day .. chop down the first vile tree you see.*
- The sun. Hotter than hell .. this surely is the work of the devil. Mercilessly, it vaporizes trillions of gallons of water from the surface of the earth every minute. Worse, it helps the evil trees grow (most (sane like me) environmentalists believe that the sun and the trees belong to an organized syndicate, though it is extremely difficult to prove this and get a court conviction on this).
Ok .. interruption. I know what you are thinking.. these things don't destroy the water, it comes back on earth as rain .. the sun just borrows water and ecosystem crap like that.
Well, how would you like if someone stole your underwear, used it for a month and then dropped it on the mud (ever notice , how rain is never found on dry land). Tell me, Would you like that ? Please stop this thievery .. prevent the sun from stealing (or borrowing , if you prefer) natures underwear !
How can you stop the sun ? Factories, cars and and more cars. These form a protective layer of smog near the ground, protecting us and the delicate water resources from the harsh effects of sunlight. Also along with saving water, this prevents the rapid spread of epidemic diseases like skin cancer.
So remember it is up to you. YOU can make the world a better place. The future of mankind deserves a future, you decide what it should be !
