THE book to read on #WorldWaterDay2024

In just four decades, bottled water ... sits at the convergence of a mounting ecological crisis of single-use plastic waste and climate change, a social crisis of affordable access to safe drinking water, and a struggle over the fate of public water systems.

A refreshing World Water Day!

It is held every year on 22 March, and is a United Nations (UN) day focused on raising awareness of the importance of freshwater.

This year's theme is Water for Peace. The aim is to highlight the tensions that can emerge over resources like water, leading to potential instability and conflict, but also the role that water can play, if carefully managed, in promoting peace.

Today is World Water Day, a UN observance of the importance of clean water. As obvious as it sounds that clean water is important, a lot of people don't always act like it. That's why I've taken to volunteering with the Tarrant Regional Water District at the Trash Bash, an event oriented towards keeping the Trinity River and other Texas freshwater clear of garbage and pollutants. The next round of Trash Bash volunteering is in April, so to my Texas friends, I hope to see you there!

Today is World Water Day. Hosted by the UN, it’s a day to spur action on the world water crisis. Water is one thing none of us can live without. Access to clean water should be a human right, and something we guarantee in the environment for other life forms.

"Water can lead us out of crisis. We can foster harmony between communities and countries by uniting around the fair and sustainable use of water – from United Nations conventions at the international level, to actions at the local level."

While World Water Day is celebrated on March 22, 2024 and the United Nations has set this year’s theme for WWD as “Water for Peace,” at WPLC every day is a day where we have the honor and responsibility of working to protect the Water - to defend Indigenous Peoples, ancestral lands, and those that work to defend the Earth. We are dedicating this month to the life-giving force that is Water.
