乾淨的水難尋,隨著全球人口和企業的成長,越來越多人需要這項珍貴的資源。全球暖化使情勢惡化,當氣候變遷,乾淨的水源變得更加難以取得。
What can we do to solve this problem ? Well , we can start by making changes at home . For example , when brushing your teeth , keep the water turned off until you need it .
我們能做些什麼來解決這個問題 ? 可以從改變居家生活著手,例如刷牙時,等要用到水再把水龍頭打開。
The same thing goes for washing dishes , and even washing yourself . Your family could save a lot of water each day , and that adds up .
