Today I'm writing about the global water crisis.
About 70% of the Earth is covered with
water. That's a lot, right? Wrong. Only 2.5% of
the Earth's water is fresh. Most of the fresh
water is ice, snow or deep underground, so
we can't use it. Also, the world's population
is growing. We consume three times more
fresh water today than 50 years ago.
World Water Day is a global event. Each
year, it focuses on international water
cooperation. But there's a lot we can do at
home to save water.
• In my family, we usually keep our drinking water in the fridge. A lot of people tum
on the tap and wait for the water to be cold. We don't do that because it wastos
water.
• We don't wash our car at home. Although it saves money, it does not save water.
My sister is considering washing her car at a carwash that recycles water.
• I'm washing clothes only when necessary and in cold water.

It saves water and electricity.
• We are also recycling our unwanted clothes. You need more than 2,500 litres
of water to produce one T-shirt. Give your clothes a second life and save water.
