Description
The video illustrates the number of liters of water used to carry out such activities as growing an apple, manufacturing a computer or taking a shower. It makes the point that not everyone has these luxuries. In some countries people are trying to survive on 5 liters a day and a child dies every 8 seconds.
Students are asked, "how can we solve such a big problem", and challenged to take action and join the One Drop Movement.
General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
This video may be too disturbing for younger audiences. It could be used to introduce action plans that the students initiate in order to make a difference. It could also be used as a conversation starter to introduce the topic of water conservation.
