Water Is Life



Water covers three-forth of the surface of the earth. Yet only 1% of it is usable. Approximately 97% of the water is salty sea water and 2% of it is frozen in the form of glaciers and ice caps. This makes that 1% a precious commodity that is necessary for our survival. A man dies faster without water than without food. Thus it is duty of every individual to save water and prevent its wastage. Running taps, flowing tanks etc, should be avoided. Save water for next generation.

What We Do Effects Them






Earth is the only planet that supports life at the moment. The beauty of this planet is enhanced by forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, lakes, ponds, tropical rainforests etc. But humans are destroying the delicacy and slenderness of these beautiful elements. We are cutting down the forests, building cities on every dry piece of land, spilling oils in the oceans etc. In this way we are also destroying the habitant of many of the tiny creatures that have found shelter in such places.
