New Hampshire's House of Representatives endorsed marijuana legalization Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the state will be the third to legalize pot. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Republican sponsoring the legalization bill, tells U.S. News the state will not adopt his proposal in 2014.
The ocean holds 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is freshwater found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, or in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 326 million cubic miles of water, over 96 percent is saline, found in the ocean.
The total amount of fresh water on earth is a precious commodity, and although you might think thereâs plenty of it â when you comprehend the following statistics and put it in perspective, it may seem otherwiseâ¦ Only 0.000067 of the total water on earth is available on the surface as non-saline fresh water in our rivers, lakes, and streams.
