What do you really know about fresh water?
 |
Do you smell good today? If so, fresh water probably had something to do with it. Have you ever made a bowl of pasta, wolfed down some soup, or chomped on a vegetable? Fresh water had something to do with that, too. Chances are good that the fabric of the clothes you’re wearing, or even the power you’re using to read this e-mail, came from fresh water, too. You get the point. There is hardly a part of our lives that fresh water doesn't somehow touch. The amount of fresh water available to humans is incredibly scarce: around 0.008% of the total volume of water on Earth. Yet, every day, we pollute and overuse what little we have. Prove you are Wild for Water That's why Conservation International (CI) started its Wild for Water campaign. With you at our side, we're campaigning to let the world know just how important it is to protect the wild areas that provide us with our fresh water — the ecosystems upstream from our taps and our wells. And we want to let the world know just how serious we are about protecting these places! Once you pass, we'll tell you what else you can do to be Wild for Water. Thanks for spreading the word. Your friends at Conservation International |
