At the Grey Bruce Children's Water Festival I learned to conserve water by… only taking as much as you can drink. Don't leave the tap running while you're not using it. Only take a 5 minute shower a day. Don't waste water because we need water to live.

Hi, I'm Megan. Here are some ways to conserve water. When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the tap running while rinsing. And please, don't use running water to thaw food. Also, bathe your pets outside in an area that needs water and bathe your young children together. To water your gardens, collect and use rain water and don't use the sprinkler to just cool off or play. Those are some ways to conserve WATER!

At the Grey Bruce Children's Water I learned to conserve water. Here are some of the ways I learned… Don't keep water running when you're not using it. Only take as much as you need, don't over flow cups. Limit your baths and showers to 10-15 minutes. Reuse water, don't throw it away. It is important to conserve clean water to live. If we ran out of water we would all die. That is some of the ways I learned to conserve water at the Grey Bruce Children's Water Festival.

Hi my name is Cori. I am going to write about conserving or saving water. First of all, you should soak your pots instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean. Second of all, it is better if you bath your young children together so you only use a little water instead of a lot. Finally, when you wash your dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

I learned a lot of the spectacular things to learn at the Children's Water Festival. First I learned that what ever you put into the ground is what you drink in your water, like gum that's how come you get water that is not good for you. Also, I learned Canada is the country that uses the most water in the big wide world. Next I had a lesson on Adam's well. Then I learned some people have to carry water for hours. Finally I learned that if you spill oil or juice in the water it is not for the fish and the animals in it. I hope you go visit the Children's Water Festival.

Hi I am Summer. At the Water Festival I learned how to conserve water. Only get as much water as you need Don't take too long in the shower If you shower you don't use as much water as you would if you had a bath Do the laundry when you have all the laundry in the washer Don't take too long in the bath If it rains put a bucket outside so you don't have to use the hose for watering your plants Don't leave the tap on when you're brushing your teeth. Conserve water! Don't waste it because we need it to live!

I'm going to write what I enjoyed most at the Grey Bruce Children's Water Festival. What I enjoyed most is called What's Up Doc. It was about this person who went to a party, but a few days later he got really sick. We asked him questions. He said he drank lots of water. But we found out that the water made him sick. So if you want to drink water make sure it is clean.

I learned an enormous amount of facts about water that I have never knew. I learned to dig a well near rock not sand or gravel. I also learned that you should not put oil in the lakes or rivers because it can kill cute and cuddly ducklings and other animals. Then I learned that our country Canada uses the most water out of all of the other countries. Last I learned that you should not litter or pour anything on the ground because you are really drinking it. I know a marvelous amount of facts now that I went to the Water Festival.

Dear Water Waster, If you want your grandkid's kids to have water you'd better listen! I'm Droplet the droplet of water. If you take long showers, get a water conserving shower head or take shorter showers. Don't leave the tap running when you are doing dishes, brushing your teeth, or washing your hands. Only turn the water on when you really need it. Don't flush the toilet when it's not needed. Another way to conserve water is to put a full water bottle in the back of the toilet so the toilet doesn't use as much water. If you are not drinking all the water in your glass, put less water in your cup next time, put it in the fridge for later, or give it to a plant or animal. If you're washing your car every day - stop! Only wash your car when it is really dirty. Too much soap pollutes our water system. If you have a dripping or leaky tap you should fix it because it is wasting water with every drop. A drop isn't a lot for you, but it's a lot for people in countries that have little fresh water like Africa. My family is spreading farther and farther apart by water wasters like you and others, so please don't take water for granted because there is no substitute for it. If you conserve water, there will be water for years to come and for people that have very little. P.S. The more you conserve, the more you give.

Dear Water Waster, I'm Droplet of Water. I want to stay for generations to come, so I'm going to teach you how to conserve water. One way to conserve water is to drink all the water in your glass, you can put it in the fridge for later or give it to a plant or animal. Did you know Canadians use 2 times as much water as Europeans? Another way to conserve water is to stop dumping oil in our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans. Did you know that 1L of oil pollutes 2 million L's of groundwater? These are only some ways to conserve water. I want to stay for generations to come.

Dear Water Waster, I am a droplet of water and I am going to tell you how you waste water, and how you can save water. You have been wasting water by flushing my family down the toilet, spraying my friend on the lawn, and getting him evaporated and dumping my uncle down the drain. This is how you can save water! Take shorter showers, get a water saving shower head and toilet and fix that drippy tap! If you do these things I might not end up like my friend or family.

On September 28, 2006 our class attended the Children's Water Festival in Chesley. It was great! What do we use water for? We use water for a lot of things like flushing the toilet, showering, cleaning, cooking, drinking and much more. Water can harm us by floods, tidal waves, tsunamis, and we can drown in it. But that doesn't happen a lot. One thing that harms creatures is acid rain. One way we can prevent acid rain is not polluting and recycling a lot. We can harm water. One of the ways we harm water is polluting and not recycling. If we put all the stuff we don't use in the garbage, and when it rains if the garbage dump is a pit some of it soaks in the ground and dirties our water. So it is important to recycle. Did you know that 70% of us is water? Water is in our blood! And we need water survive. There is no substitute for water, so we have to conserve it. There are lots of ways to save water. When you brush your teeth you don't leave the water running that makes a big difference. A low flow toilet uses less water and don't keep the tap running. If you do all that then you are making a difference. I had fun at the Water Festival!

On Friday I went to the Chesley Water Festival. I learned how to save water, how the sewage comes to the septic tank and what kind of bugs live in water. I also learned what the difference is if water comes from a lower level than a higher level it will not have as much pressure as if it was on a higher level. I learned that water comes out of the ground, lakes or rivers. It was a lot of fun!

At first I wanted to learn how to conserve water and I learned that so that was the fun part. Of course I already knew a bit about that. Because of the Water Festival I wish the world could be less polluted. Then animals and humans could live in harmony. Especially if other humans stopped polluting. I learned that it's better to conserve water than to waste it. So you should always check taps before leaving the bathrooms. Same with the toilets because some times the toilets are kept running. They should put up signs about turning off the taps because kids leave the taps running at full blast.

I learned that water can help people, and if you don't take care of the water, animals and people can die if people or animals drink it. I also learned that water is a bit difficult to take care of. The last thing I learned is that water can be used for lots of things, like toilets, drinks, and ponds for habitats.

Water, It Keeps Us Alive. On September 28th our class attended the Children's Water Festival in Chesley. Let me share some of the things that I learned. Why Is Water Important? Water is important because nothing can live without it. Humans, plants and animals, nothing that is alive can live without water. The Earth is the only planet with life because of water and air. Can Water Harm the Environment? Yes, most certainly. Water can harm the environment because animals and plants drink it. If something was wrong with the water, the living things that drank it would die. It can also cause natural disasters like floods that can harm habitats. Can Water Harm Water? Yes again. Water can cause erosion. The erosion makes it impossible for certain plants to grow and animals to live. Oil Spills vs. Water When oil spills happen, it can cause disaster to the environment. One litre of oil can pollute one thousand litres of water! Scientists have invented something called a boom. It is supposed to catch the oil. But it is very hard to catch. Can Air Harm Water? Again, the answer is sadly yes. I learned that the dirt on the side of the mountain gets blown down, into streams, then into lakes. Now the water is polluted. When it condensates again, it now falls as acid rain. Can We Conserve Water? Of course! You see, there are new shower caps, toilets, and taps that use less water. Thank you for listening to what I learned.

I went to the Children's Water Festival in Chesley. It was fun! Did you know that you drink about 8 glasses a day! The longest you can go without water is 3 days! Imagine being stranded in a desert with no water! Only 3 days! I'd go prepared! Also did you know that 75% of your body is water! Only 25% isn't! Isn't that amazing! The only problem is a lot of the water is salt water! Don't waste! We all need water! Oil spills kill! Some boats leak oil! Oil kills wildlife! If you enjoy sitting on your couch, drinking hot chocolate and watching the world go by, check your boat before you go out. You can save water by: Turning the tap off when you brush your teeth Only filling the tub half way Only taking a five minute shower Using a low flow toilet and putting a water stopper on your tap That's my trip!

I attended the Children's Water Festival in Chesley on September 28. I went with Summer, Hayley R., Braydon and Mackenzie. I learned how to save water. Three ways to save water are; a low flow toilet, a water stopper on your tap and shower, and the last way is turn the tap off after you wet your tooth brush. I also learned how not to pollute water. Three ways not to pollute water are; don't kick garbage in sewers, try not to use as much fertilizer, and don't put garbage in ponds, lakes, streams or any other water source.

I enjoyed the Pioneer Water Race at the Children's Water Festival because I got all wet and you had to run. I also like the obstacle race and the rest of my group did too. I liked fishing. I really, really liked the tour of the water plant. It was cool seeing in the sewers and I bet you that there was one million buttons in the plant. In the other sewer pipe the water was so clean it looked like it was empty.

A thing that I learned at the Grey Bruce Children's Water Festival was where the sewage goes when you flush the toilet and what happens to it. Another thing I learned was if you leave the tap on while you brush your teeth you end up wasting a lot of water. I learned that pioneers had to get 300 buckets of water to put a fire out. Another thing I learned was that a boy named Ryan worked for 2,170 dollars to make a well for Africa. I also learned you waste less water by having a short shower, having a short bath and by putting a plug in the sink to fill the sink up with water then using that same water for all your dishes.

I enjoyed the Marsh Monsters activity at the Grey Bruce Children's Water Festival because I got to catch a lot of bugs. I caught the weirdest bug of all. It looked like a frog but it had six legs. I think it was a baby dragon fly. It would be near the bottom of the food chain. Another thing that I leaned at the Water Festival was that it would take about 1000 buckets of water to put out a fire back in the Pioneer days, and today we call the fire department to put out fires.

I learned to conserve water by when you brush your teeth you shouldn't leave the water running. You should wet your tooth brush and then brush your teeth, then rinse your tooth brush because you would of saved way more water than leaving the tap running. We did an experiment to show how much water you use leaving the tap on and how much water you use leaving the tap off.
