Ah, technology

I am not the greatest with technology, and I know I frustrate many when I ask them for help! My computer skills are fairly limited and mostly involve saving a document or going on youtube. This is why doing this blog project was both a challenge and an extremely helpful learning experience. I know feel more comfortable operating a computer, and would even go as far as saying that I enjoy it! I can now add blogging to my list of computing skills! YOHOO, or should I say YAHOO!

Also, if you wish to see the sources from which I got my information check out my bibliography at:

The issues of water access, privatization and pollution affect everyone on this planet; that is why I found it so meaningful to focus my blog project on it. Water is a resource that we all equally need. It is life on this planet.

Over the course of this project I've learned that the global water crisis encompasses a vast variety of problems ranging form social, to economic, to environmental. For example, water scarcity/mismanagement caused by overallocation and pollution leads to water privatization which causes a lack of access to the poor which can result in illness and death. This is of course just one of the many scenarios people are currently facing across the globe,  and will continue to experience unless we take action.

Since water is the most important resource on this planet, everyone has a reason to be passionate about it, to protect it, to sustain it. We must refuse that the fate of our fresh water supply be decided by a small group of rich business men. If the people ban together and take back the right to their water, we might be able to alter the alarming future of our fresh water supply and sustain it for future generations. We must realize that by continuing with our water wasteful ways, our fresh water supply will only last us to 2050. The time is now! Lets do everything in our power to conserve our water!
