Water is key for survival therefore we should strive to ensure we utilize it as appropriately as possible. However this isn’t the case since many people are ignorant such that they end up destroying the water sources eg. Rivers, lakes and seas.

A good example is Kenya which has water shortage currently such that it is affecting not only those in the remote areas but also those living in the major cities. In this situation, water becomes very costly thus reducing the living standard of people mainly those in the slum.

The whole world in bottles.
Water in small bottles.Water in big bottles. Sparkling water and water in glass or plastic bottles.
The water comes from different streams. The most labels are using water from north Germany or Austria but i can also discover bottles filled with water from Finland, Newzeland or Africa. Isn't that strange? I've got the possibility to pay a few cents for water, which traveled Across the whole world. But that water doesn't belong here.It is the world in bottles and i think the world should be free.
