"Water is the driving force in nature," Leonardo da Vinci once
said.
It's true because without water, earth would be cut off from one of the
most
important resources. Sadly, if humans continue to pile on
the trash, infest our waters, and pollute, it will slowly lead the human
race down a
scary path. It is clear that a lot of people's poor choices in not
recycling and polluting has
slowly caused negative effects to our water supply and nature in
general. If we do not take initiative, humans could quickly spiral into
an
irreversible future where we may not have any clean water at all. It
only takes one person to make a difference and there are many ways to
help. Recycling and identifying the importance of conserving water are
perfect examples of simple yet effective ways we can help the earth.
Humans can sit back and watch the world slowly perish, or some of us can
take responsibility and try to make a difference.
Recycling is probably one of the most easiest ways we can help. We can
recycle so many things like newspapers, cans, glass, plastics,
cardboard, and even water. Instead, we choose to throw out so many
reusable products. It can seem overwhelming at first to try to make it a
habit to recycle, but it's so simple! There are tons of websites that
help explain the importance of recycling and give many examples on how
to recycle pretty much anything. Recycling shouldn't be a chore. Instead
it should give us hope that we can reverse many of the wrongs our
polluting has done to the earth by just living a greener life.
Water is one of the most important elements in our lives and it's sad
to think many of us take it for granted. Conserving water is probably
one of the most important things to do and should be on the top of our
lists when it comes to recycling. Recycled water is useful and
beneficial in agriculture, landscape, toilet flushing, and also in
artificial lakes, When we're brushing our teeth, we can choose to waste
gallons of unused water by leaving the faucet on or we can simply turn
it off and use it sparingly. Water recycling not only "decreases the
diversion of water from sensitive ecosystems", as explained in the US
Environmental Protection Agency website; it also reduces and prevents
further pollution by being used for irrigation because the reusable
water is rich in nutrients and safer than using synthetic fertilizers.
It's amazing how one little drop of water can help in a big way.
A lot of people today may not know or even care about the importance of
water. It's scary and sad to think that many humans take water for
granted, when we all should try to do our best to conserve this
important element. I can't stress enough on how simple and effective
recycling and conserving water is. Recycling may not be on the top of
our lists, but it should at least be included and we should try to make a
difference. But perhaps it might be how Benjamin Franklin once said, "When the well's dry, we know the worth of water." And we should not be surprised to see that realization soon.
