__**Facts about the environment**__- Nearly 97% of the world's water is saltwater or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is held in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just one percent for all of humanity's needs. Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration — usually less than 1%. Some mussels, for example, Margaritifera margaritifera, can live to be 100 years old.
