Twenty- three years ago, the United Nations designated March 22nd as World Water Day. It’s designed to bring attention to the fact that over one billion people in the world are without access to water, and focuses attention on the growing issue of “water privatization”- in other words, forcing many people to pay private companies eextremely high prices to obtain the necessary water to survive
Here are some games designed to help people learn how to conserve water;
The Water Family Game
Mission H2O
The CBBC Newsround has a very accessible Guide To Water.
Water Conservation Around The House is an interactive sharing ways to conserve water.
Imagine All The Water is a very accessible and interactive site sponsored by the European Commission.
Here’s how The Atlantic describes it:
The site Imagine All the Water would like to remind you of how much water you’re using even when you’re not taking a bath or brushing your teeth. Sponsored by the European Commission, the site brings together a mind-boggling array of estimates about the overall amount of water required to create everyday consumer products. Though the site’s purpose is advocacy — essentially, to scare us into a water-conservational mindset — it also offers a useful reminder of how crazily resource-intensive the most ordinary objects can be.
I hope you find all these links useful and remember saving energy and other resources is not only a question of money, but also of being responsible consumers and environmentally respectful human beings.
