Are you a fan of Paul Simon? Not the singer-songwriter, but the ex-senator from Illinois. If so, you may know that Simon was a huge advocate for water conservation during his time in the senate. He even wrote a book called Tapped Out: The Coming World Crisis In Water and What We Can Do About It.

In the book, Simon says, “Mention the water issue to key media people and they agree on its importance, but unfortunately they also agree there is not much public interest. Unless public interest is stirred, we will face serious crises and wars that could have been avoided.”

That’s right–wars. Along with the CIA, Simon predicts that serious conflicts will arise over water in the coming decades unless we address the issue now. Here’s what you can do. You can watch the video below. You can visit Water for the World. You can sign the petition.

You can even call me Al.
