Two questions for you:
In a normal day, how often do you appreciate and respect water?
How often do you take water for granted?
We know the answer.
It’s so easy, too easy. We turn on the tap and there it is.
Where there is a faucet, there is wasted water.
It’s wasted because we’re not carrying it from wells that are far away, everyday, several times a day – a task generally done by women. You use water differently when you have to carry it. Anyone who goes camping knows this.
A fine piece of video journalism on Current TV does a great job of showing this. The reporter makes herself live on the same amount of water a person in a water scarce country would use each day for a week as she goes about her daily routines in her London home.
