<Saving the water, saving the animals>

Kenya’s lands are being parched. The chance of rain has decreased by global warming. Eventually, the harms that people made to the water source are coming back to us, not only humans but also animals. I read an article about animals dying in Kenya, because of the drought.  In Kenya, animals, crops and even people are dying because of water scarcity. Elephants are spending weeks and months to find something to eat, but ponds are parched and meadows are wilted. Water scarcity is being a global issue these days. Water scarcity isn’t a huge problem in many countries, but we have to prevent it and help other countries that desperately want water. Just by changing our life habits we can save water and others; such as people, animals and crops. First of all, we can put a brick or a bottle full of sand in the back of our toilets to save water. Secondly, we have to check if our faucets are fully turned of and not dripping. Third, taking shorter shower can save us about 18~25 liters of water. Lastly, when using the washing machine, we can join all the washings and laundry them at once. Also, it helps if we use less synthetic detergent. I hope everyone in the world are cautious about wasting water and know how precious the water is.
