Today we
saw a movie called `` Last call of the Oasis`` that discusses several Global
Challenges. That’s why; I’ve decided to write a blog post about one important
Global Challenges,the lack of clean water.
This is
what I found interesting about the movie: ``Last call of the Oasis``
Water. It's
the Earth's most valuable resource. Our cities are powered by it, agriculture
and other industries depend on it, and all living creatures need it to survive.
But instead of treating it with care we've allowed it to become polluted with
toxic chemicals and agricultural and industrial waste. And it's very possible
that in the near future, there won't be enough to sustain life on the planet.
And now I’m
just wondering how everyone can be supplied sufficient clean water without
conflicts.
Water is
vital for all functions of civilization, and without it, nothing can be done. Our
life depends on it, and many people think (As one of the ladies in the movie said:
we all have seen this picture out of space on the earth: there is plenty of water,
why should we care?) I do not really think that people are aware of how important issue actually is. In Africa each year thousands of people dye because of the lack
of clean or actually any access to clean water. There are many ways to avoid this problem. As
the professor mentioned in the movie, people are using water unnecessary like watering their lawns . People invented many ways on how we can avoid
using too much water in our houses.
Just look
at these links :
I think it
is amazing what people are able to invent regarding environmental issues.
What do you
think about waterless toilets, do you think that you would buy one and have it
at your cabin instead of the regular one?
-Ewa :)
That looks like a good idea! Perhaps we need other ways to save water as well. They did mentions some in the documentary.
