No water, no life.

But, so what? There's
more water on earth than there is earth, right?
Yes, that's true.

I'm countering a huge
objection/question in the mind of the prospect now. I'm
reading his mind and therefore building loads of rapport.

However, 97% of all that water
is sea water. And sea water, of course, is just
chock full of salt. Anyone who drinks only sea
water will soon die of thirst and dehydration as
that person's body tries desperately to flush
out all that excess salt. Of course, we humans
can use sea water... if... we remove the salt.
But, that is very expensive!

I'm stating a problem... and... I'm
also aggravating that problem.

Sea water is not a good
choice for agriculture or industry either. It
kills most crops and literally (and very
quickly) rusts out most machinery.

Yep, I've just illuminated another
problem.

In truth, only a mere 3%
of the world's water is fresh, not salty. But,
almost all of that fresh water is locked up in
glaciers and ice caps or is deep underground.
Which means...

Only A Measly 1% Of All The Water

On This Planet Is Easily Accessible To
Mankind!

And, much of that water
is so polluted it is killing thousands upon
thousands of people every day... plus...
it is making millions of us horribly sick.
