I find that many of the big issues facing our society start getting popularized in Africa. AIDS is one major point in that argument. But I think the next great problem is the issue of water. The next great conservation conversation might be about two things:
1. How we conserve water.
2. How do we make water readily accessible to those who need it?
We do a great job of wasting water in the U.S. How many of us leave the water running when we brush our teeth? How many of us don't use "gray water" to water plants? Small steps can help us save a significant amount of water. This water saving will help us funnel the resources to Africa where some people have to walk hours upon hours to find water to drink.
One solution is digging wells in African countries where needed. Check out the website below to learn more about 1,000 Wells project championed by Jars of Clay.
