Project Blue

By Simran Vedvyas

The Challenge and My Aim

To reduce the consumption of water in my community.

To conserve and protect the resource (i.e.-water).

To take care and preserve for our biosphere and spread awareness about the importance of saving water.

Why?

It is essential that we care for our resources and preserve them before it gets’ too late.

It is important that we don’t take these resources (which are depleting at a rapid rate) for granted

Water is a resource for which it is impossible to find an alternative as compared to other resources and this is why I want to help by doing my bit for the Earth and for my community.

Ideas for this Challenge

A “Blue Walkathon” and a Fair to highlight the importance of saving water

School Seminars to spread awareness among the students

Create an online class and allow youth to join in from different parts of the world and spread awareness in their localities

A member of each family in your district could probably keep a record of the increase/decrease in water consumption in the house

Create an Earth Charter youth group under the name Earth Charter and Blue Youth Group and co-ordinate as a team in different parts of the world

My Target

My target is to reach out to at least 5-7 nations around the world as statistics show that:

=BY 2025 AT LEAST 45 COUNTRIES WILL BE EXPERIENCING WATER SCARCITY AND WILL BE COUNTRIES WITH WATER SHORTAGE=
