Our Rivers Are Drying Up. Here’s How You Can Help | National Geographic

so get this the Colorado River the same
river that carved the Grand Canyon
doesn’t even make it to the sea anymore
and it’s not just the Colorado the Nile
the Ganges the Rio Grande lots of rivers
big and small are so over tapped they’re
often reduced to just a trickle how
crazy is that we’re sucking an entire
river dry practically everything we do
uses water like did you know that it can
take three hundred and thirty gallons of
water to make one pizza and your
all-american blue jeans 2,900 gallons or
just one pair the good news is we can
fix this and you can start right now
grab your phone and pledge to conserve
water by texting River 277 177 in return
change the course we’ll restore a
thousand gallons of water to depleted
rivers and wetlands together we can
change the course
