Dangers of Polluted Water

According to a United Nations report, more people now die from contaminated and polluted water than from all forms of violence including wars. The UN reports that two million tons of waste- agricultural and industrial, as well as sewage and so on- are discharged every day into rivers and seas, spreading illness and damaging ecosystems. Moreover, every 20 seconds, a child under the age of five dies from water-related disease. Says Achim Steiner, executive director of the UN Environment Programmed: " If the world is to thrive.... we need to get collectively smarter and more intelligent about how we manage waste".

So lets start to save our planet the best we can before it's too late! We can do that in our own little way as he say manage waste smartly. It start from my home to yours. Wink!
