It is in my opinion that if the youth of America do not change their attitudes on water conservation then we will eventually run into serious trouble. The point of view towards water that teenagers have today is that they have an unlimited supply of water and don’t have to worry about it. However, they are very wrong, at the current rate of water consumption, within a reasonable amount of time, the freshwater and groundwater supply will begin to run dry. Teenagers have no real conception on just how much work it takes to extract water and purify to make drinkable by the public. Nor do they have any idea about just how much water costs to produce. I feel that the government, national and state, should take a stand in this dilemma and develop a campaign to try to solve it. Conversely, adults have the same problem. Some adults do not bother to go that extra little step to save water, but rather they use more water because of the simple fact that it is easier.
