Poverty
People don't have what they need!!!!

We need to be grateful and not just the rich snobs that some of us are, because if you were in a poor country, you would not throw anything away.

People in poor countries don't have a faucet to drink from like us, therefore they have to travel to get to the nearest water source. That means sometimes miles away from home! If they take a bath, they won't have enough to drink, so quit wasting water and only take water you need!
