Conserve Water, Protect life is the speaker’s main idea. He shows us a lot of data to prove his ideal. Thermoelectric use the most water is USA, about 49%. Irrigation is 31% in water use in USA. The other part is public supply and so on. There are two parts of water footprint: direct and indirect. Direct is use water come from a top, in direct is virtual water. The speaker also gives us many examples that we can conserve water in our life. Such as take shorter showers, recycle water, eat food that require less water to produce. We can do a lot of things to conserve water and protect our life.
I know how important the water is in our life. Even though sometime I still have some behaviors are wasting water, but I really want to change my behavior, I am making every effort to conserve water. As we know, there are many countries lack water to live. The water is the most important thing in their life. They can’t take shower every day and drink water when they want to. The water is just support to live without any waste. We are so lucky that can live in a country can support enough water in our life. But if we only use water as much as we like, there is not impossible we have to conserve water to support our life. So just do it, conserve water, protect life.
