Conserve Water, Preserve Life!

“THE WATER THAT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN”

Do we waste water? Do we think it’s free?
How it gets to us, those efforts we don’t see

In so many parts of the world you know
There’s severe water shortage and crops
don’t grow

Their livestock dies too
and there’s famine around

While for you and I,
precious water doesn’t count

So let’s look at some things we can do
every day
With a little thought and effort,
there’s so much we can save

Pour in water, but only as much as we drink
Stop filling the glass up to almost the brim

If we can’t drink it all,
cover the glass with a lid
When we’re thirsty next time,
we can drink from it

That way we won’t have to wash it each time
It’s a good way of saving both water and time

As for the water guests leave in the glass
It can surely be used for our indoor plants

When it comes to dishwashers and
washing machines
Let’s not turn them on for only a few things

Let’s turn off the tap while we’re brushing our teeth
Or shampooing our hair or while scrubbing our feet

As for our showers,
when we’re under
that spray
It’s not the place to
plan our life or our
day

While washing
our cars, let’s not
give them a bath
Let’s try to save
water when
doing this task

I could keep going on,
there are so many ways
If we think it’s
important,
so much water can be
saved
It’s really high time
that we lived our lives
On a conscious level,
with our conscience
alive

For be sure of one
thing –
that someone,
somewhere
Needs that water we
waste,
while we don’t care.
