In class on Friday we talked about the videos we found for the homework assignment and discussed our thoughts on water use. Reading the assigned pieces along with listening to the class discussion really opened my eyes. Before this set of assignments I realized that we waste a lot of water but I did not realize the impact that our wastefulness has on the world. After reading an article I found through Google alerts it is easy to see why not much is being done to help preserve recourses such as water. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/10692-ambitious-un-sustainability-conference-in-rio-to-avoid-climate-talk
