Water, being essential for life, ebbs and flows with a tide as does this World Water day that initiates the season of renewal with rituals as diverse as all the ways spirituality and religion are practiced in different parts of the world.
Regardless of belief, water is the most fundamental practical essences of life here on earth.
Let’s hear more about Water from WTN board member Walter Andrews, who has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and expertise on water from being a Charter Member of the EPA since founding and serving over 50 years.
Thanks for listening.
World Water Day was adopted at the United Nations Conference in Rio de Janeiro UNCED called the Earth Summit in 1992. The Earth Summit and Global Forum were life-changing experiences to participate in during the beginning years of the World Team journey, before founding our non-profit World Team Now. For many of us committed to the environmental social movement greater teamwork for the earth of the next generation began then.
1993 began World Water Day’s annual water day themes. Here too was the beginning of the journey to the UN’s ratification of the Sustainable Development Goals – with water now in SDG’s #6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Every year, there is a new theme for World Water Day whose tide seems to go from the 20th-23rd of March every year.
Let’s all do our best for the water and earth every day. For me growing up every day was actually was World Water Day when my mother came home from work at EPA where she was an environmental scientist, let’s all be citizen scientists for our earth Mother, and protect our common lifeblood, Water.
Please let us know If you are interested in the Water Themes World Team Now is exploring: drinking water purification, distribution, water sanitation, desalination of saltwater to freshwater, water from the hydrogen fuel cell, water for energy, as in tidal, and wave energy, water for transportation, and water for cleansing, birthing, exercising, healing and rituals.
Are there any other water themes you are interested for us to explore?
If you are interested in helping with any of our water programs, especially the ocean curricula, please let us know.
