wwf-Water is too precious to be wastesd

Have you ever thought of anything that we must preserve in a way that a mother protects her child. May be not. But there is one thing that should be preserved in such a way. That is water.

According to scientific revelations life on earth was begun and it is survived due to water. At the very first moment the water completely evaporates from the earth that will be the beginning of end of all the living beings on earth including human kind. That is why it is important to preserve water from wastage.

According to recent researches the fresh water resources that remain on earth are not adequate for the usage of living beings. In accordance with, 97% of the water on the earth is unusable sea water. 2% of the 3% left are there as ice bergs in northern and southern poles. Therefore the usable fresh water on the earth is less than 1 %( 0.3%).

The trouble of not having sufficient fresh water resources have worsened as the remaining sources have not spreaded throughout the world equally. According to expertise a third world war may occur due to the particular matter. In the recent past there have been a few occasions in which people have struggled over the usage of fresh water. That's why it is said the value of water has arisen immensely over the value of crude oil.

The pollution of fresh water resources has worsened the trouble even more.

On 22nd of April we celebrated the World Earth Day. To protect the human kind as well as the life on earth it is important to preserve water on it

Visiting relatives-නැති නෑදෑකමුත් හොයා ගෙන සංචාරේ යන්න.

The first “travels” of our ancient Sinhalese were to go to visit relatives. They enjoyed a lot by these wonderful travels. They renewed, re-energized, strengthened and warmed up bonds of love among relatives.

So, during this Avurudu festive season, visiting relatives’ houses is the best of any travel.
Enjoy it!
