They also created a petition called “The Earth is thirsty! Fresh Water in Danger” on the platform change.org and invited people to sing it. You can still sign their petition here: http://chng.it/QFrCLcnR8t Their objective was to raise awareness of the environmental problems caused by lack of drinking water, as freshwater – the stuff we drink, bathe in, irrigate our farm fields with – is incredibly rare.
