Water is disappering because we are wasting it.Use water carfully, try not use it as much.

First  we need to understand how limited our water is.Some people  watch ponds and lakes dry up, then they know how limeted our water is.When you know how limeted our water is you don’t use as much.Next if you play in the sprinkler, play in it when your parents water the plants.It saves water and you don’t need to turn on the water twice.Finally take a shower insted of a bath.It will save water every day.Just make sure it’s not a long one, because then it is like taking a bath.

If you do these things and some others your sure to save water.Then when others see you they will do it  too.

The best gift I ever given was a softball bat.Hannah was on the top bunk and I pushed her off.She fell and hurt her head.I felt bad about it ,so I got her a softball bat.I felt good.
