Global Water Effects

In this article, Dolna Smithback is researching the water usage between Boston, MA and Melbourne,Australia. It's amazing to hear how the Australians notice the lack of water the world has and are trying to conserve. They are really stepping up to the plate by suggesting different ideas to continue to keep our planet clean. Most of us in the U.S. seem to use the resources we have and take them for granted by never giving back. We have people come talk to us about saving the Planet Earth, but never seem to do anything about it. If we don't start acting soon, the resources we depend on for every day use will vanish and that's what Dolna was so impressed with in Australia, how dedicated they are to their surroundings. This piece has many great facts from the Australians and the music in the beginning and end really helps bring the piece alive with the emphasis of the topic. It's a very inspirational piece that we can all learn how to conserve water, a valuable resource that we use every day and can't live without
