Be a hero. Save the planet. Go green.
Water
Civilization has been similarly slow to give up on our myth of the Earth's infinite generosity. Declining to look for evidence to the contrary, we just knew it was there.

Rather grandly, we have overdrawn our accounts.

would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of
predatory human hands. ~Havelock Ellis, The Dance of Life, 1923
