When Do We Know It Is Too Late?

My colleague Hanna Moore, last article,  "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to spare."  really cought my attention. She did a great job a providing data and facts. She gave very good information as to what the problem really is and I completely agree with her. We need to realize and accept that the whole planet is having a water crisis. Texas' droughts is a big problem. Arlington and other cities were put under water restriction, not allowing them to water their plants everyday but just two times a week and other measures to avoid the misuse of water. Residents of these cities were mad because they believed their freedom was taken away.

I think as residents of Planet Earth we should think more about our actions towards the misuse of our resources. We can't live without water, and unfortunately due to climate change and droughts, water has been misuse throughout the world. I think that by Texas taking measure to try to save a little bit more of water and prevent it to being misuse is a huge positive thing. It shows that Texas does care about their environment. Hanna's article really made me realize how easily we take stuff for granted. We need to make conscious now on what we are doing, and we need to take action to help save our water.  Hanna was also right, when she said that restricting by restricting watering lawns, it does not have to do with the Bill of Rights, it's more about taking care "Earth's natural resources." I really loved her article and I completely agree with her and with the issue that we are having as a state, and as residents of planet Earth.
