Did you know that most of our planet is covered by water? It's true! A whopping 71% of Earth's surface is ocean! It's a huge, watery world, full of amazing creatures and plants.
From tiny plankton to giant whales, the ocean is home to all sorts of life. But even though it looks like there's a lot of water, most of it is salty ocean water. Only a tiny bit is freshwater that we can drink. Most of this freshwater is locked up in ice and snow. There's just a little bit in lakes, rivers, and the air. So, it's really important to save water!
Here are some ways you can help. We would be happy if you would share them with others:
Take shorter baths or showers: Every minute counts!
Turn off the tap: While brushing your teeth or washing your hands, keep the water off.
Reuse water: Water from washing vegetables can be used to water plants.
By saving water, we can help protect our planet for future generations. Let's be water-wise.
Here are some ideas for you:
Water Conservation Pledge: Make a pledge to save water. Make a list of what you can do to save water, like turning off the tap while you are brushing your teeth and discussing them with family and friends.
Water Drop Art: Use watercolours paint to create a colourful picture of water droplets. You can add raindrops, snowflakes, or even a big ocean wave.
Water Scavenger Hunt: Go on a water scavenger hunt around your house or neighbourhood. Look for water in different forms, such as in a glass, a puddle or on a plant.
By doing these activities, you can learn about the importance of water conservation and have fun at the same time!
