WATER
What is it?
The substance composed of the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen and existing in gaseous, liquid, and solid states. It is one of the most plentiful and essential of compounds. A tasteless and odourless liquid at room temperature, it has the important ability to dissolve many other substances. (Wiki link)
Why is it important?
You are comprised of approximately 60% water, which enables every single process within you. From fundamental subconcious actions like breathing, to your thoughts and ability to move in entirety. In essence, you're a walking, talking water sack. Your overall composition, a proportionate representation of the planet?!
Water's our future?
The growth of our species is causing our planet, the habitat in which we reside to be destroyed, in a multitude of ways. One key way in which we are destroying our environment, perhaps irreparably, is the polution of our waters. From our rivers to our oceans, the planets waters are distinctly and visibly different now, with every aspect of the water cycle affected.
How long it will be before water shifts from being the seamingly abudant resource it is to a fundamentally poluted one? A reality in which those who own clean water hold all the power and bottled water prices soar remains to be seen.
However, that time is faster appraching than most would have you belive. Where does your water come from?
