World consumption of paper has grown 400 percent in the last 40 years. Now nearly 4 billion trees or 35 percent of the total trees cut around the world are used in paper industries on every continent. Besides what you can see around you, paper comes in many forms from tissue paper to cardboard packaging to stereo speakers to electrical plugs to home insulation to the sole inserts in your tennis shoes. In short, paper is everywhere.

As one of the problems about consumables, water shortages could affect the 4 aspects of life.
In terms of Health- people specifically in countries which is highly industrialized, people are forced to drink low quality of water such as (water flowing from streams) which it could be contaminated.
In terms of Hunger- It takes a lot of water to grow food and care for animals. Experts say that globally we use 70% of our water sources for agriculture and irrigation and only 10% on domestic uses.
Less water means farming and other crops that need water to grow have lower yield. It means farm animals will die and others will not do well without water. The result is constant hunger and thirst and low quality of life

In terms of Education- It is a bit hard to see how water and education is related. For many people in other parts of the world children (and teen girls) have to be up at dawn to collect water for the family. They have to walk for several miles to get water. The children get tired and some have to miss school as a result. Doing this for many years take away school times and the cycle continues. In other places, girls and women are not allowed to go to school at all so that they can serve the family by getting water and taking care of other family needs.

Poverty
Access to quality water is key to economic prosperity and better living standards. Businesses and schools thrive when people come to work on time and not have to spend all morning looking for water. Restaurants, hotels and shopping places need to keep clean to attract tourists and foreign investments. Manufacturing activities, commercial farms, and mining processes all need a lot of water to thrive. Lack of water means no economic activities will happen and the people will be in constant poverty

The contents of this page prioritized to share information regarding how are we going to deal with the scarcity in terms of resources and energy. As we come so far, nowadays, most of the people specifically in the highly urbanized site, experienced a lack of energy resources. In order to give actions (either it is minimal or major), as one of the 21st century learner at isa sa tinuturing na "pag-asa ng bayan", I advocates that we must preserve and save energy and natural resources para mapakinabangan pa ito ng susunod na henerasyon.
