Editor's Notes
- #3 Nearly 80% of the earth’s surface is covered with water and you are 66% water. Even the trees that surround you are primarily water.
- #4 ANSWER: Less than 1% Obviously, if only 1% of the water on earth is drinkable and the population continues to grow, we have to reduce use or find ways to use the “non-drinkable” water. Water is relatively cheap, so we tend to waste it.
