We need to address this problem by getting people into saving water.

Given the difficulty/urgency of the problem, we need to move quickly.

GIVING REASONS (JUSTIFICATIONS)

My reason for saying that is because the solution doesn't get to the root of the problem.
The reasoning behind that is that it'd be more of a long-term solution.

The logic underpinning such an approach is that we are in control of our world.

What I'm trying to say is that some people would prioritise other things over food.

SUMMARISING THE PLOT

There's simply no other way to describe this film than to say that it's a work of art.

It's impossible to sum up this story; there's just too much going on.

To Chihiro's horror, they turn into a pair of giant animals.

There's a parallel plot involving the person who is rebelling.
