As promised here is the first of my articles ... the first issue that I would like to talk about is water, its waste and possible ways to keep the few remaining resources !
THE MOLECULE OF LIFE
What is water? Scientists say is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen binding to form a compound with unique properties, essential in practically all life processes. At room temperature is a liquid, tasteless, colorless and odorless gas that comprises 95% of all human beings. Death comes without a drink in no more than 3 days in the newborn and up to 10 days in adults. Shocking ... not many of us know these things, because maybe the people studied as me or have read them somewhere, or heard him by accident. Yet despite this most of us use water thoughtlessly.
The water occupies the 2 / 3 of the earth's surface, more than half therefore, it must however be many restrictions. Of these 2 / 3 only 2.5% of drinking water and this is not even 10% is liquid but in the form of glaciers. It is also distributed in a totally uneven, as 11 countries use 50000metri meters / year per inhabitant, the other only 5000metri meters / year per inhabitant. In other words while the child is complaining because the water west of the pool is too cold, the third world literally dying of thirst. The 11 countries we are talking about are in fact all Westerners, all over make it a totally unrestrained use only made of waste and pollution of this precious little there is left. I see people making the water run minutes from the tap before drinking it, others who turn to watch TV while washing dishes ... while water pours and goes away like blood from our veins. In most all forms of waste (sewage, industrial, etc..) Flows in our seas, rivers and lakes.
I'm not here just to be "bigoted" but to find, as you can in my small, one solution. What could be done to solve the problem? The problem should be eradicated at the root that is to say with very strong political intervention. First of all make it much more expensive water and harsh penalties for those who consume more than a certain level, unfortunately the man of the new millennium is still very attached the money is there and maybe hit the only solution. Projects even more unthinkable is the construction of purifiers and double pipes, through which we can use clean water for drinking but not all the household and not, and reserve the water for drinking. In our little something could be done in a concrete way, such an awareness campaign and education savings. We should aim to teach you how to reduce waste water and use a few simple rules to restrict to a minimum the use of that required, by passing a positive message, not the usual lecture environmentalist. You could make flyers and meetings based on a few points now enumerate, supported in our case from municipal bodies. I start from this:
• Change the style of life ... do not need three showers a day ... even leaving open the tap while you soap or brushing your teeth!
· Prefer to wash dishes by hand, use the dishwasher when fully charged, as well as the washing machine.
· endeavor to equip itself with every family that can be filled with rainwater tanks to be used for watering, washing the car or change the water the fish !!!!!
• Other proposals are accepted at the time I do not have anything.
This is just an idea, but from the bottom might be great and get to the upper floors of the government that it should be of concern at first because our south has already serious problems of water scarcity especially during the summer. We are not far from the center of it.
I think it is so important and urgent. If we think about it since he formed the modern society (more or less over the years '50-'70), water consumption has grown exponentially. Soon then will contribute to this great waste in developing countries like India or China.
Think about it and then wake up, I do not say this but given the data: the most optimistic estimates say that water resources will not reach even to 2025 when our generation will not have even 50 years ... I conclude with these data that in my opinion speaks for itself ... look while various proposals to try to change something.
