  • I think we as a country who has access to all this should come up with ideas and make a new invention to help these countries. We could invent something or send the water bottles, but that could also make the pollution go up. This is definitely a problem, but it doesn't concern me as much as it should. Just because I have access to clean water and stuff.

  • One way you can contribute is to donate to services that work for clean drinking water, like Ethos at Starbucks or other online sources. It concerns me a fair bit considering that that is about 25% of our population without a necessary ingredient to life. 

  • I don't think that myself and a lot of everyday normal people in America are very worried about this problem, because it's not something we come across everyday. Although we should be more worried about this problem, it's not just something we see everyday

  • I think there a just ways to save water everyday. Whether if it's just shutting your water off while you brush your teeth, or while you wash your hair in the shower. And I think that some of the more fortuante people with more money should donate to charities meant to help get clean water.

  • I think that the best thing a normal person can do is just conserve water. I think that the problem does not effect me directly, however I think that it is a very concerning problem that should be attacked. I think that 2.1 billion people without good water is a huge number that should be reduced.

  • It is interesting and a very pressing topic, I think that people should start paying more attention to the water, and find ways to purify it in mass loads, also start funds to help people that dont have safe drinking water. I think I is a big topic that needs to be adressed. 

  • It is very scary and concerning how many people go without clean drinking water. We are very fortunate that most of us have that and use it every single day. It is also scary how many people don't have it, and the health problems that come along with it. People could start funds and charities for the people that go without clean drinking water, and raise money.

  • It worries me a lot, and makes me sad to think that so many people don't have access to drinking water. Something I use everyday, I think everyone should have it close. I think if everyone donated money towards the cause I think the problem would probably be close to over. 

  • I think that there should be funds around the world to help becase this is a problem all over the world. Some people have to drink dirty water and also use the same water to bath in. Drinking the dirty water could really harm them and get them sick. I think many people should get clean water to help them, mainly people with kids. 

  • I believe that we should do funds because this is a problem around the world. Some people don't have safe water to drink and it could harm them. So if we could get them clean drinking water it could help some of their conditions.  Sometimes I think we take things for granted like water, we can just go get a drink whenever and we don't have to worry about if it is clean.
