The water shortage in the southeast is a huge issue right now.   Atlanta, Georgia has only a few weeks left of water, unless serious planning and rationing is put in place.  This brings several thoughts to mind.  The first for me is curiosity of whether global warming is really to blame.  The second is to think about how much excess energy and resources I use on a daily basis.  The final thought is&#8230;what would we do without water?  Taking care of the environment and ourselves go hand in hand.  We need water to survive, whether we like it or not.  Finding balance between our wants and needs could help, not only a situation like this, but nearly everything in our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/GMA\/story?id=3730145&amp;page=1\">Atlanta Suffers as Southeast Drought Continues &#8211; ABC<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogactionday.org\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogactionday.org\">Blog Action Day Post<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogactionday.org\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogactionday.org\/images\/action_234x60.jpg\" alt=\"Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many things are put into perspective when we are faced with an issue.
