Today I’m going to tell you how to save our water cycle and fresh water.

I think we need to save our precious water. Everyone needs to help to prevent our water supply from being polluted. We need to keep our water clean so the fish will not die. If we save our water we will have enough to drink. So we need to make sure that we save our water.

Now, sir, what have we learned? Number one we need to save our water and help the people who drink it. Number two we need to save the fish. My last warning — stop throwing trash in the water! The fish will eat it. Last but not least if you save about five gallons of water we will all have enough to drink.

Now have we made a difference? First, don’t throw trash in the water. Instead, you should separate garbage from things that can be recycled and be sure to put them in the right container. Second, don’t turn on the water in your shower while you put on shampoo, conditioner and soap. Third, wash your car on the driveway so the water goes down the drain and can be recycled.

Today I have told you how to make a difference in your community. Now go tell friends and family too, because if we work together we can save our community.
