One article/link I found is about the hidden water use in every day life. It tells how much water goes into making the things we use every day and don't even make the connection. By clicking on the products you can see how much water it takes to make a cup of tea, a bottle of wine, or a gallon of milk. It really sunk in that good clean water is essential for our survival. All life is dependent on water. We should do all that we can to ensure we use that precious resource wisely.

National Geographic- Water
As I was going through my stack of dusty magazines over the weekend, I picked up this month's National Geographic. The entire issue is dedicated to water and why we should care about water. As I was reading the articles and reviewing the fabulous pictures, I was thinking about this class. Unfortunately, links are not available to all of the articles I would like to comment about! I was curious enough to peruse the NG website. There is an entire subsection devoted to environment. Check it out. There's a lot of information on global and national environmental issues.

Sara- Thank you for the information on the National Geo. website. I will look at it since my paper topic is related to creation of a water commission in the US to deal with the broad range of water issues we have. I agree with you, we should all stop a moment and take stock in how much water it takes to make all the things we use in life and to just keep our own bodies healthy! Thanks.
