The informative poster "Water is Life" has been released. Students have commonly agreed with the following text to try to araise awareness of Water Footprint problem:
Water is one of the most important substances on earth.
If there was no water, there would be no life on earth.
Water covers 70% of our planet, however, only about 0.3% of the water resources on earth are usable and drinkable.
The amount of freshwater on earth has been the same since it was born and has been around in a cycle for millions of years but now this quantity is getting smaller because we are polluting it. Our irresponsibility has caused diminution of freshwater and this is the biggest threat to our ecosystems and human civilisations.
Widespread public awareness about this problem should be a top priority in our agenda as access to freshwater will be an issue for future generations.
We need to act now!
