Water is a basic need. Without water we can only live so many days, yet it is becoming harder to find. We are experiencing droughts at astronomical rates, our lakes are becoming polluted, and our ground water is contaminated.  Our water has been on this Earth for billions of years, why the sudden change? This change is due to... Pollution Global Warming But we can make a change. David Suzuki has started a movement, called Blue Dot. Communities will come together to pressure governments to "recognize, protect and fulfill every person's right to live in a healthy environment." Learn more about  Blue Dot  and ask friends to join.
