In the video it also explained that  countries with no water usually go out and look for some water to drink and most of the water is contaminated with diseases. More people die without water then the conflicts and wars the happen.

The Water Project has funded over 1,700 water projects in seven countries with nine partners. Over 390,000 people have access to safe water. So I think next time we waste water we should probably think about all f the other countries in the world who have no water to drink.

Ithink that both genders should be paid equally. It shouldn't matter what gender they are both genders should be treated equally. Some people might think that this is wrong and men should be getting more money than woman because man have more power. I think that woman should have power as well becuase it would be unfair.
