Please help me! I heard that scientists think that the planet is getting too crowded and they are going to get rid of one substance from the world. I am water, and I hope you don't get rid of me. Please help me in my protest... here is my platform!

I am water. I am an abiotic element (this means I am not alive), but I am very important. I am always flowing and lots of things would die if I weren't there.

I don't think you should get rid of me from the ecosystem because I do a lot for it. For instance, I give all the fish, beavers and any other water animal a place to live. Humans and lots of other animals are 70% water, so if there was none of me, most of the world would die. Plants and trees live on water; they need water to do photosynthesis.

I also think I am important because I interact with lots of things. I interact with dirt, plants, people, animals and lots more. I am a free-flowing thing so I do not need much to live, but a lot of things need me. I do not need anything except space to exist.

As I said before, a lot of things need me to live, plants need me for food, people need me to function properly, and animals would also die without me. If I were gone, I don't think the world would be going on! Pretty much every natural biotic thing needs water.

I want to emphasize what would happen if I disappeared. If I were gone, nothing would be able to live. Plants, mammals, amphibians, everything would die, because every biotic thing needs water to live. People would die, there would be no rain or snow ever and even the cactus that doesn't need to be watered often would die because it has water inside.

These are my reasons that you should not remove me, water, from the ecosystem.

So please, get rid of something like chocolate, not me! :-)
