Gianandrea Heyer ; Quarrel about saving natural resources

I went to play soccer one day and after the match I came back to the locker room to take a shower and get dressed again. While I was getting ready to get in the shower, I noticed one little kid- I thought he was around 10 years old- he was washing his hands. After he was done washing his hands, he went back to his locker, leaving the water running. Then, after one minute, he went back, finished to wash his hands, and eventually closed the tap. I got mad, because I thought it was a waste of water. So, I decided to tell him he should remove that bad habit, and that little changes in everyone’s daily behavior can lead to major environmental changes. The little boy did not really understand what I was talking about, but he stared at me, confused, uncomfortable. While he left the locker room, he shyly said “ it’s not that the water I wasted there changed the world”. He was true- I thought- but if every kid of his age thinks it that way, what will happen to the world in the future?
