The basic thing that we could have done is to plant trees to save our water system. Trees preserve the water content in our soil and prevent our environment from droughts and famines. With trees also, our water system in our environment can avoid from lethal chemicals as trees will purify them in the process.

Water is life. We would die in three days without water. Our body can’t go on with its complex processes without water that will help metabolize and circulate nutrients, oxygen and blood in our body. With the growing pollution in our environment, our water system is imperiled. Dams and watersheds have gone dry, rivers become polluted and our drinking water has been contaminated with chemicals. With this condition in our water supply, it is expected that our establishment will also loose its energy and will become less efficient. And with current trend in consumer electronic market, products are replaced and disposed of frequently like used plastic bags. One of the biggest threat to pollution is the obsolete CRT screens which are being phased out in the market. CRT has phosphor coating which is poisonous when it is exposed to water. Proper disposal should be done to old computers and laptops. Some helpful tips on laptops at best buy laptops.

There have been protests and the growing demand from the public to pay close attention to our water system. There have been many programs for our economy and the advancement of our technologies, but the government is missing the point. Officials haven’t thought that our environment, particularly our water system is the key to have a successful nation. With polluted water, our body defense system would weaken until we got in contact with intestinal diseases like cholera and diarrhea. And since we make the workforce of our society, when we get sick, our country’s governance is also affected as it would mean extra cost for hospital fees and medicare services.

The basic thing that we could have done is to plant trees to save our water system. Trees preserve the water content in our soil and prevent our environment from drought and famine. With trees , the water system in our environment can avoid from lethal chemicals as trees will purify them in the process. Ever heard of mercury and lead poisoning from water consumption? It’s true. And to solve it, we should plant trees and use new technologies in filtering our water system like reverse osmosis and multistage filtration systems. Remember, our lives are at stake with contaminated water. We must be aware of these things. Who knows this could save us.
