Water Have you ever been told you need to drink water and stay hydrated? Yes, water is essential and very important to us. There are about 300 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. That is 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. So it should be easy to keep drinking and staying hydrated with all that water available? Right? Well, most of the water on Earth is in the oceans, and we can only use about 3% of the water. Out of the 3%, we can really only use 1% because the other 2% is frozen in glaciers or hidden underground. That makes you really wonder Is there enough water for us to use forever?

Scientists say that we will actually never run out of water. Why is that? Well, water changes form and actually is recycled through the water cycle. However, if we are not careful, we can pollute or harm water with dangerous chemicals and other pollutants. When that happens it is extremely hard to ever recover and reuse that water.

So that really has you thinking now. What can we do to have an abundance of water forever? We need to take care of our water. We need to continue to be water wise. It is important to remember not to waste, pollute or destroy our natural resources. So next time you are drinking a cup of water remember how important it is to your survival.

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
