Comment 19- Our rights to water

    We can survive without food for two months. However, if we haven´t got any water, we would only survive for 3 to 5 days... These data show a lot about the significance of water in our lives. And this is just to survive! But it´s also necessary to have a shower, to brush our teeth, to cook... and for many other things.

    We don´t value water enough just because it´s a resource that, luckily, we all have in our homes. But unfortunately, there are many people who don´t have this privilege. This happens in poor countries, and it really seems very sad to me.

    Our society is so selfish that we waste water every day while there are thousands of people who don´t have water even for their basic needs. We are constantly wasting it when we brush our teeth, when we take long showers, when we throw oil into the sink because we pollute the water...

    In Lanjarón, there are many water sources that are always running. To avoid the waste of water, it was proposed to put a button so that the water would only run when it´s needed, but the children destroyed them. This says a lot about our society, once again, showing how selfish we are.
