I am saddened by the many news I had been hearing from television and reading from newspapers. The growing degradation of our natural resources is on an alarming rate. Take the case of water, one precious but depleted resource. Every year, we have to wait for the rainfall to replenish the dams so we can have a good supply during summer.
Now that summer is here, the weather is just scorching hot. Some forests are burning. There is drought and lack of water in many regions. It is indeed a different world.
My plea is for people to consider the value of water and not to waste it. The Water Festival is coming and people are gearing towards celebrating it with water for three or more days. I hope that people will realize the importance of this resource that they would think twice before splashing someone with a bucketful of water. A day of celebration is enough I reckon and three days is just too much of a waste.
Instead of splashing, plant something for this coming week. Instead of making others wet, bless them with a sprinkle of water and kind words. Instead of drum loads of water prepared for the street battle, keep them for bathing, watering plants and cleaning. In this manner, we not only save water but we also save money.
