Welcome to the Children's Conservation Connection
 Water
is our most precious resource. Although water makes
up 80% of the earth's surface, less than 1% of it is
fresh water. The rest is salty, frozen or in the atmosphere.
With only 1% of the earth's water available for drinking,
we need to find ways to save water and keep from polluting
the water we have. |
You can help save water by following these water saving tips:
| Turn off the tap while
you brush your teeth. You'll save 2-3 gallons per day.
|
| Use a broom to clean
sidewalks instead of a hose. |
| Listen to weather forecasts
so you don't water the lawn when it's going to rain. |
| Don't let the hose run
when you wash the car. Hoses can waste 5 gallons a minute.
|
| Check your faucets and
toilets to see if they are leaking and let the people
in charge know leaks waste water. |
Saving water can be fun and
easy. See how by trying some of these activities:
