Water: How Scarce Is This Precious Commodity?


We have been lecturing about water since the 70's. Donna and I have come to appreciate just how precious this most needed natural resource is to every human being on the planet. We have, also, come to discover just how scarce in the grand scheme of things water is, too.

This is an incredible artistic model of the earth effectively displaying the very, very small amount of of potable, drinkable, water available to every single living thing on our planet. Makes you stop and think, doesn't it? It is not  that much, is it?

And, yet, this is how much water it takes to make just one hamburger. Just keep in mind  the McDonald's Golden Arches and the increasing numbers daily


We can live without meat, fuel,  gas, etc. if we had to. Generations before us did.  All those things use an incredible amount of water to produce. So many things we produced commercially and in manufacturing uses water, and lots of it.  The production of bottled, reverse osmosis water uses a great deal of extra water to produce the incredible number of bottles that are sold.

This is so unnecessary in view of the fact that ...We can't live without water! The generations that will follow need us to wake up and be more conservative and caring about water, the environment, and the effects of commercial enterprises on our precious water supply.

Live naturally,
Stephen
