It matters because there's almost none as it is, and you don't collect 100% of the water you use just because it rains. Water gets polluted, trapped underground

It matters because there's almost none as it is, and you don't collect 100% of the water you use just because it rains. Water gets polluted, trapped underground, locked up in glaciers.
- mapontosevenths 6d ago> It matters because there's almost none as it is That's ridiculous and untrue.
- joenada 5d agoStatistically speaking, compared to non-fresh water and compared to how much we actually use as a species, there is very, very little fresh water available to us.
- mapontosevenths 5d agoI do need an entire ocean of water to live a normal lifestyle. Only some amount far less than the many, many, many quadrillions of gallons of freshwater we have. If you live in the desert, stop doing that... or get them to laws for your specific place in the world. Where I live we have something close to an infinite supply of fresh water.
