How much do you know about our nature? There are several things that could empower your knowledge about the nature and environment. Earth’s surface is covered with 70.9% water, 29.1% land. Only about 3% of total earth water is drinkable, the other 97% water is salt water
There are millions of people all over the world who don’t have access to water, or, if they have access, that water is unable to be used. About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water and 3% of it is actually fresh water that is fit for human consumption. Around two-thirds of that is tucked in frozen glaciers and unavailable for our use. According to World wildlife fund, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is predicting that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity. Clean drinking water is scarce and there are millions of people across this globe that spends their entire day searching for it. Yet, people who have access to safe, clean drinking water take it for granted and don’t use it wisely.
Solid wastes commonly referred to as trash or garbage in the United State and refuse or rubbish in Britain and Nigeria is a waste consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public, examples of these wastes are food and kitchen waste, paper, glass, plastic bottles, nylon, fabric etc.
