Are we running out of clean water?

main idea:

Clean water is limited, so we should use it more sparingly.

connection

We use water for many things like farming, bathing and more. Therefore, if water resources are scarce, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to our lives.

highlight:

1. But despite the water covering 71% of the planet's surface, more than half the world's population endures extreme water scarcity for at least one month a year.

2.Our farms drain the equivalent of 3.3 billion Olympic-sized swimming pools every year, all of it swallowed up by crops and livestock to feed Earth's growing population.

3.On a personal level, reducing food waste is the first step to reducing water use, since one-third of the food that leaves farms is currently wasted or thrown away. 

4.Our planet may never run out of water, but it doesn't have to for individuals to go thirsty.

5.If we adopt vegetarian lifestyle, we would decrease approximately 30% of the water footprint.
