Water insecurity is horrible

VERNON — In our world today, water is being polluted. There is not enough water for everyone. This is bad, because water should be for everyone like snow is for everyone. Some people think they can have all the water they want, but I think water should be for everyone and shared equally.

I think it is wrong to have most people have dirty water. I also don't get why some people think they can have all the water they want; to me, that is just horrible. We should share the water equally, so why don't we?

It is horrible that almost one in seven people are water-insecure. All the kids in my class think that it is horrible that one in five people don't have clean water.

A lot of people have lead-poisoned water, and lead in their blood makes them very sick. And some people can't get water for days, if not weeks.
