Destruction of the Environment Must Stop Now!

Our Water, Our Oceans

If all the Earth's water was represented by a gallon of water, the fresh water would be less than a teaspoon.

·  Every day, over one billion people face a catastrophic health and economic crisis due to lack of clean water. Waterborne diseases are responsible for nearly 10 million deaths each year, 10,000 child deaths every day and 80% of the developing world's illnesses. Clean water scarcity and contaminated water is spreading rapidly and will continue to do so unless corrective action is taken. The crisis is one of water governance and insufficient financing for clean water supplies and services. The technology and vision exist, yet the funding and unity among global partners is lacking.
But the real tragedy is the effect it has on the everyday lives of poor people -- the billions who are victims of waterborne diseases, struggling to get an education for their children, unable to earn a living or get enough to eat. Bringing clean water within physical and economic reach can make the decisive contribution to saving lives and dramatically improving the health and economic well being of these people. Only through sound humanitarian and economic models and a unified global coalition can we mitigate this human crisis.
·  Simply stated, the lack of clean water is the leading cause of disease, death, poverty and instability in the developing world. Preventable waterborne diseases are responsible for killing the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets full of people, every day. This translates into a loss of one human life every eight seconds and claims more lives annually than HIV/AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined.
I·  f the present rate of destruction continues, 70% of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed within the next few decades.
Climate change will destroy the world's great coral reefs within a century, according to a report by German and Australian marine scientists.
