Wasted Water Water is the most important resource to human life and without it we would perish very quickly. “We could survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without freshwater” (Miller & Spoolman, 2013, p.238). Water also plays a key role in shaping the earth’s surface, controlling the climate and helping to remove and dilute some of the pollutants that exist (Miller & Spoolman, 2013). If that is the case, why do we take such huge advantage of this valuable resource? One

is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses, very few rays would be absorbed and the earth would be extremely cold. When too many rays are absorbed, the earths atmosphere starts to warm, which leads to global warming. Global

Mars. With Mars being so cold it made things even more difficult to survive. The freezing temperatures make it virtually impossible for plants, organisms, and humans to survive. Without water, survival is also impossible; if Mars was closer to the Sun, the frozen ice would be able to melt and then create water for the living organisms. Before human beings could actually create homes on Mars lots of big changes would need to be done. People think they can just wear a spacesuit and be fine but
