March 20 Is International Water Day, A Precious Resource

Water is a precious resource that should be respected and appreciated like oxygen. Water is used for many things, including bathing, drinking, nourishment, and crop irrigation. The human body is 70% water and it's important that we all drink adequate water. The Earth consists of 70% water as well and it's vital that we do all that we can in order to conserve this precious resource.

Unfortunately, there are many countries where people are unable to get adequate water to care for their basic needs. If they are able to gain access to water, it's most often contaminated and too toxic for consumption. The water isn't even suitable for hygienic needs. With the bountiful amount of water that covers the Earth, there should be plenty of water for everyone. Unfortunately, this precious resource is squandered and wasted in agribusiness. March 20 is International Water Day, a day to observe the importance of water sanitation. Let's take this a step further and appreciate the fact that water is a precious resource. Being mindful of your water usage with showers and washing dishes is important. Adapting a vegetarian diet is also important. A meat diet uses 4,000 gallons of water. This is enough to float a battleship. In comparison, an ovo-lacto vegetarian requires only 1,200 gallons of water, and a vegan needs a mere 300 gallons. When you stop to think about how precious water is, it's a humble reminder that we all need to appreciate it, respect it, and conserve it.
