How Much Water Is on Earth? Total Water and Freshwater Explained

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • EARTH SCIENCE How Much Water Is There on Earth? Can our planet ever run out of water? Exploring Earth's enormous water reserves, the freshwater shortage and the future of humanity. Water is one of the most extraordinary and essential resources on our planet. Our planet is called the Blue Planet for a reason. Approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water. But does that mean we have an unlimited supply of water for human survival? Look at the oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers and countless streams across the world. Water seems almost endless. It falls as rain, flows through rivers, disappears into the ground, freezes into ice and rises into the atmosphere as water vapour. Yet billions of people experience water shortages. Some communities struggle to obtain safe drinking water, groundwater reserves are declining in several regions, and pollution is making important water sour...

Same Tree, Different Eyes: The Psychology of Perspective

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY Same Tree, Different Eyes Why we see the world differently—and how perspective shapes our decisions, relationships and lives. We do not always see things exactly as they are. We often see them through the lens of who we are. Imagine a large, beautiful tree standing beside a quiet road. Its branches stretch towards the sky, its leaves dance in the breeze, and its shade offers relief from the afternoon sun. A child might see a place to discover birds and nests. A carpenter might see the possibility of creating a table or a chair. A woodworker might think about timber. A businessperson might calculate its commercial value.
