WATER IS PRECIOUS DON'T WASTE IT. WATER IS LIFE.

WATER IS PRECIOUS DON'T WASTE IT.

WATER IS LIFE.

Biologists tell us that the first living organisms in the planet's oceans. The ancient Babylonians believed that before heaven and earth  existed, the universe was made of two oceans- one sweet and one salty -Whose waters mingled together. Jews,Christians, and Muslims believe that before light was created the "spirit of god moved over the face of the waters"

What all these stories tells us is that life arose from water.

We spend the first nine months of our development enveloped in water, and when a baby is born, its body is 78% water. Even as adults , our bodies are made up more of water than anything else.

Water , obviously, is crucial to our survival. While human beings can live more than a month without food, three days to a week is the longest we can survive  without water.

Given the importance of water to our survival and wellbeing, it would seem that access to water would be universally accepted as a basic human right.

and yet......

• 1.1 billion people world wide do not have access to safe drinking water.
• 2.2 million people die world wide each year due to lack of clean water. More than 90 % of those are children under under age 5.
• 250 million people world wide contract diseases such as  cholera and dysentery from drinking contaminated water  each year . of those 10 million die annually.
• more than 2,100 cancer causing chemicals have been found in municipal water supplies in the United states.

FREE WATER IS MORE THAN A NICE IDEA . IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL  HUMAN RIGHT !
