Precipitation (rainfall) = evaporation + condensation + infiltration + surface runoff + subsurface flow
§ Certain Total amount of freshwater: 10.22 million km3
(cubic kilometers)§ Uneven distribution geographically: Canada, Africa…§ Climate change: More uneven distribution (altered

Freshwater Usage Fact
Globally:• Agriculture 70%: Irrigation• Industry 20%: hydropower
generation, cooling water, process water, products water, as a medium for waste disposal
• Domestic 10%: drinking, cooking, washing, and sanitation

Freshwater Scarcity in China
Ø 20% of the world’s populationØ 7% of the world’s fresh waterØ 30% lakes and rivers are unfit
for human useØ 73% of the watersheds supply
water to 30 fast-growing cities

Major Reasons• Freshwater resources limitation: only 0.007% accessibility,
highly uneven distributed geographically• Overdraw groundwater (million years to recover): 90%
irrigation water (UK) • Populations growth and global trading: freshwater demand
increasing• Climate Change: more uneven water distribution
• Freshwater pollutions: Agriculture, industry, and human activities

Contamination of Rivers, lakes and groundwater
• Agriculture: fertilizer, pesticide, livestock manure…• Industrial pollution: industrial chemical and waste, mining,
acid rain caused by air pollution, petroleum leaking (400,000 tanks leaking reports EPA US in 2001)
• Human activities: fecal waste (sewage)…

Ø 33% industrial waste water Ø 90% household sewageØ 80% cities (278) have no sewage treatment facilities• 70% rivers, lakes and waterways seriously polluted• 980 million partly, 600 million people drink water

• Populations and urbanization increasing (9.3 billion, 2 million daily 2010-2015)
• Agricultural water consumption: increase 17% • Industrial use: increase 20%• Climate Change: rain-dependent agriculture down by 50%• Pollution from above: human, agriculture and industry

1) The ultimate nature is emptiness: Things exist by dependence upon others
2) Environment (inhabited), inhabitants are composed of same basic elements (earth, wind, fire, water and space)
3) Interdependence or Interrelationship between the environment and the inhabitants

2) Causes of suffering (集)The three poisons
§ Attachment, greed (貪): endless desire physical and emotional (suffering of change, suffering of pain)
§ Aversion, hatred (嗔): ill will, malicious (suffering of pain)
§ Delusion, ignorance (痴) (three sufferings)

Less Meat to Vegetarian?
The love for all living creatures is the mostnoble attribute of man
(Charles Darwin)
To become a vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to Nirvana
(Buddha)
Try to cut back on how much meat we eat. Not just for our health and animal welfare, but for the environment too!
