阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Last summer, 14-year-old Zhang Wei joined a water protection camp near Qinghai Lake. The camp was organized by a local environmental group. During the week-long camp, Zhang Wei and other young volunteers learned about the importance of protecting fresh water sources.
The first day, they visited a small village near the lake. The villagers told them that the lake had become smaller over the past twenty years because of less rainfall and more water use by farms. The volunteers felt very sad. They decided to do something to help.
For the next few days, they cleaned up rubbish along the lake shore. They collected more than 200 kilograms of plastic waste. They also planted trees near the lake. Trees help keep the soil from running into the lake. After planting trees, they went to the local school to give a speech. They taught the students how to save water at home and at school.
On the last day, the volunteers made a short video about their work. They shared it online. Many people watched the video and left encouraging comments. Zhang Wei said, “I learned that everyone can make a difference. Even small actions matter.”
Now Zhang Wei has started a water-saving club at his school. Every week, the club checks the school’s taps to make sure none are dripping. They also put up posters to remind students not to waste water.

Water is one of the most important resources on Earth. We should save water because fresh water is limited and many places in the world are already suffering from water shortages. If we waste water carelessly, future generations will face serious problems. People may not have enough water to drink or grow food. In our daily life, we can save water in many simple ways. For example, we should turn off the tap while brushing our teeth. We can also take short showers instead of baths. Besides, we can reuse water by using the water from washing vegetables to water plants. Every drop of water counts. Let’s take action now to save water for our future.
