In people's traditional ideas, water is often regarded as the cheapest and richest resource, and it is inexhaustible. In fact, the world's directly available fresh water resources are very limited. At present, many countries are facing the shortage of water resources. More than 654.38 billion people cannot drink clean water, and the problem of water shortage for urban population is increasingly prominent. The problem of water has aroused the general concern of the international community and governments. Many cities in China are also facing the crisis of water shortage.
Last year, I watched a party on saving water resources held by CCTV. A little girl named Jiang Tao from Gansu caught the attention of the audience and the host. She always has mineral water in her hand. She likes the sweet and pure water very much. Through TV short films, we learned about her hometown, which is full of yellow sand. It's a barren land. Her family had to borrow a neighbor's donkey cart to transport water to more than ten kilometers away. I have watched her carry water for my mother since I was a child. Pushing a heavy donkey cart with thin hands, panting and sweating, the host said that the water was bitter and astringent, and the water that appeared in the camera was really turbid. It can be said that this water is dirtier than the water we wash our feet. That night, I felt for the first time that it was a sin for us to waste water so generously before.
I looked up some information about water saving on the Internet, but I didn't expect this search to find such a poor person in the world. Poor people make you have to pay attention to them and sympathize with them. Look at this picture. The child is about my age, but very thin, too thin to be described in words. The child's eyes are deeply sunken, without a trace of light, and their eyes reveal indelible melancholy. Small nose has difficulty breathing, and it seems that it may stop breathing if you are not careful. Dry lips seem to tell people their sadness. The ribs on your body are clearly visible, and you can count them all. My legs are just a little thicker than dead branches. All the bones in my knee burst out. There is not a drop of water in the broken bowl next to it. He just leaned helplessly in his mother's arms.
Look where they live. The land was torn apart by the sun, and there were no weeds, not to mention vegetables and trees. The sun is steaming on the earth.
Save water, as long as everyone saves a drop of water, that is enough, for them, for themselves, for our common home, the earth.
