We, as a species, must use water
more efficiently. The wasteful techniques employed today must soon be upgraded,
or else we will face a dark future. Aquifers throughout the world are drying up
and major bodies of water are receding. Most developed nations use water
wastefully while other developing nations are lacking sufficient water to
sustain their growing populations. I found an article about climate change in Forbes
magazine through my Google alerts. This article stated that governments spent
409 billion dollars to artificially lower the price of fossil fuels. If
governments would stop subsidizing fossil fuels, there may be more incentive on
the consumer side to move towards renewable energy sources. This move to
cleaner energy must happen soon or else fossil fuel wells will dry up and we
will be left with no energy sources.
