For Sustainable Future
Most of us are not aware of water shortage. Because when we want water, we just go water purifier or sink and get it. Very easy. But realistically, there are no countries that have enough water now. According to UNESCO, if the tendency of water consumption lasts for over 20 years, 180 millon of people will live in region where water runs dry. We have save water to save people in the future. So, I recommend some ways we can practice easily in daily life: turning off the tap and doing laundry at once(not seperately)
Very first step we can practice is turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, rubbing your hands or face with soap. It is a very easy way, as you know. But most of you do not practice with thoughts that it is trivial. Actually, I often see many people wash their hands with the tap turning on in toilet. And then, putting water in a basin or a cup is also good habits. There is enormous amount of gap between turing on the tap and using water in a basin. Just don't wash your teeth, hands, or face through running water and use a basin and a cup.
And another way to save water is doing laundry at once. Some people run a washing machine every time they have something to be laundered. However, it is a bad habit which can promote water shortage. Whether the amount of laundries is few or many, water consumption is same. So, do not laundry frequently and do that after dirty laundries are gathered enough. Only when you do laundry, you might just as well be lazy to overcome shortage of water .
By turning off the tap(and using water in a basin) and doing enough gathered laundries, we can help the people who may suffer from water shortage in the future. These ways can save not only the people in the future but also the ecosystem including many fishes. Moreover, these habits help us pay the water charge less. And they are also really easy way to practice water-saving in everyday life. Why don't you practice these habits in your daily for eusuring the sustainable future and household expenses?
I really agree with your thoughts. Water shortage is already a serious gloobal problem. Furthermore, our country is country of water shortage. However, people keep wasting water thoughtlessly. If this continues, Korea will face a water shortage. Rationally, turning off the tap and doing laundry at once are not much difficult. If we recognize that there are many regions facing with a definite shortage of water, however, we should try to save water. Water conservation is a responsibility, and not a choice.
