Help Water.org

by

I’m a student at Berkeley Arts Magnet and we 5th graders are doing a fundraiser for water. I never knew that red meat could waste a lot of California water (our precious water.) Yes steak is good but it wastes a lot of water. Facts say when you eat steak you waste 1000 gallons of water each time you eat it. I think that we should help our earth by saving water and donate to www.water.org, which is a website that helps people who doesn’t have access to clear fine earth water.

One way we can save water is by eating steak less of the time. This is because when people eat steak, it uses that 1000 gallons of water that comes from the grass which then the cows eat, then they get the grass to grow so the cows can be healthy. So be helpful and don’t eat as much of steak but chicken and other foods like beans and lentils.

Also we are in a drought and if you waste THOUSANDS of water do you know what will happen, we will not be able to drink, or have enough water to wash our hands.

Less than 2% of earth’s water supply is fresh water and if you are an average family of four then you guys uses 881 gallons of water per week just by flushing the toilet.

Well this is a great time to talk about our fundraiser on Water.org. We are doing a challenge for saving water by asking people if they would pay $5 for doing a challenge, like eating less meat or taking short baths (showers too). You can go to our fundraiser on water.org or you can donate and every time you donate it goes to water.org and help children that die from water accesses. You can do this challenge at your home.

I hope you liked this essay and make sure to help and save water & think about the boys and girls in the world who don’t have clean safe water.
