Water Soon to Become as Valuable as Gold

Water will soon become as valuable as Gold and I believe it is important to understand some cold hard facts, about this emerging planetary crisis. As a positive life change facilitator I like to inspire people to become the very best they can be as a person in order for each individual to fulfill their potential and to have command over their dreams and visions. However, we really can’t reach our potential as sentient beings until our consciousness shifts and we start living by example. Often such abrupt action will make us stand out from the crowd and others may think of us as different, but that is OK by me. Think Like a Light Worker... Human beings tend to think in a broader scope or on a planetary scale when they become conscious beings without self serving desires. Many light workers and people of environmental organizations already think on a larger, more panoramic scale. However, these people do not comprise the mass consciousness and it is often the reason they are initially mocked by the main stream. Let’s remember, it’s been a long tradition of the human race for only a very small percentage of people to think outside the box of their own wants, needs and desires! Live by Example and Let your Actions Speak for Themselves... Living by example starts when your actions, words and deeds become an extension of your belief system and your daily habits. We can’t say we are spiritual or conscious beings when our actions remain self serving and we continuously put our needs before the needs of our brethren and our planet. The very earth that we inhabit supplies us with many life sustaining commodities such as water, oxygen, food, shelter and of course unbelievable and inspiring beauty. With that said, I would like to bring to your attention the water crisis that is plaguing the world in which we live. Cherish Every Drop of Water! It’s a simple fact…humans can’t live without water. Knowing this truism, let’s take a look at some statistical information which demonstrates how our mindless use of consumer goods, which we feel are needed to be comfortable, adds to the impending water crisis. These pleasures are often taken for granted and consumed in large quantities without thought, yet they have a very real effect upon our quality of life and standard of living. Most of us own at least one pair of blue jeans. Blue jeans are made of cotton which is a farm crop. Now did you know it takes 1,800 gallons of water to produce enough cotton to make just one pair of jeans! Take this fact and imagine all of the individuals around the world who own not just one pair of jeans but maybe two, four or even six pair of denims. The amount of water used to support the world wide jean industry becomes enormous. Now let’s take a quick look at another popular consumer item…Beer! I love beer with my Italian food and I am guilty as charged of drinking my fair share of brew. However, my drinking was largely due to uninformed ignorance! I never knew it takes 1,500 gallons of water to make just one barrel (32 gallons) of beer. Now think of all the beer consumed in Germany not to mention all over the world. I am not calling for an end to Oktoberfest or a ban on beer kegs at frat parties, but I would like to bring attention to the way certain behaviors we take for granted really do put a stress on the planet and its resources. My other guilty pleasure used to be coffee. I stopped drinking coffee several years ago for health reasons due largely to the help of a very skilled hypnotist. However, during my heavy coffee drinking days I never knew that it takes 53 gallons of water to grow the crop needed to make a single Latte. Over the years I have downed quite a few lattes and now that I know the impact a few coffee drinks have on the world’s water supply I feel blessed that I no longer have a desire to visit my local Starbucks. I do believe in drinking lots and lots of water, but did you know it takes over 1.5 gallons of water to make the plastic in used in a single water bottle? This fact is both funny and sad at the same time. Think of how much water we could save if we just used reusable water containers! Your Morning Latte just might put you Behind Bars... This is where things get really crazy… Imagine a world, where a Latte is against the law, owning a pair of Blue Jeans can get you a misdemeanor charge against humanity or beer consumption is rationed. Don’t be afraid, but this is where the world is heading. At current consumption levels we will be forced to make these choices in order to maintain food crops, provide for the production of building material not to mention general hygiene requirements! In the near future (20 years), many scientists are predicting water will be more valuable than the gold. If this is the case Fiji may have more wealth than the oil rich sheiks possess right now. So now is the time to wake up and to become informed spiritual and sentient beings. Join the elephants and camels who have survived for centuries on their reverence for water and understanding of how a balanced environment benefits everyone.
