thank you I’m here to talk about substance abuse substance you’re very
substance abuse substance you’re very
substance abuse substance you’re very familiar with substance you maybe even
familiar with substance you maybe even
familiar with substance you maybe even addicted to it
addicted to it
addicted to it substance we all need to sustain life as
substance we all need to sustain life as
substance we all need to sustain life as we know what I’m talking about
we know what I’m talking about
we know what I’m talking about yes water so let’s start subject water
yes water so let’s start subject water
yes water so let’s start subject water so how much water do you really need to
so how much water do you really need to
so how much water do you really need to sustain life just for drinking purpose a
sustain life just for drinking purpose a
sustain life just for drinking purpose a gallon a day how much water you really
gallon a day how much water you really
gallon a day how much water you really use to conduct your life another 99
use to conduct your life another 99
use to conduct your life another 99 gallons a day that’s when you take
gallons a day that’s when you take
gallons a day that’s when you take washing cleaning you know all those
washing cleaning you know all those
washing cleaning you know all those activities flushing and that’s 100
activities flushing and that’s 100
activities flushing and that’s 100 gallons per person per day let me let me
gallons per person per day let me let me
gallons per person per day let me let me take you a little different journey
take you a little different journey
take you a little different journey about unconscious use of the water and
about unconscious use of the water and
about unconscious use of the water and you will be surprised how much water do
you will be surprised how much water do
you will be surprised how much water do you think it takes to make a hamburger
you think it takes to make a hamburger
you think it takes to make a hamburger 600 gallons let me continue on 37
600 gallons let me continue on 37
600 gallons let me continue on 37 gallons of water to make a cup of coffee
gallons of water to make a cup of coffee
gallons of water to make a cup of coffee here we go you will see it takes 2,500
here we go you will see it takes 2,500
here we go you will see it takes 2,500 gallons of water to make a pound of
