For most of us, turning on a tap is an everyday occurrence, and we likely don’t think twice about it. For this session’s presenters, however, that simple act isn’t quite so simple.
Henry Lickers, Environmental Science Officer for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, is concerned about how dirty the water is – and what decades of industrial pollution in the St. Lawrence River have done to the health of both the Mohawk people and their economy. Veteran journalist Chris Wood wonders how much longer the tap will run at all, given that global warming is drying up lakes, aquifers and rivers all over the world, even as consumption rises. Both believe that poor “accounting” – the failure or unwillingness to accurately measure the environmental cost of progress – has allowed the problem to get this serious, and that action can and must be taken.
From local remediation to global conservation, each will share inspiring examples of workable solutions that can be implemented and individual choices that can be made, for the benefit of the natural world and future generations. At the end of the presentation, there will be a half hour for questions and answers.
Presenters:
Henry Lickers, Environmental Science Officer, Mohawk Council of Akwesasne; Member of Environment Canada's Science and Technology Advisory Council, International Joint Commission Science Advisory Board and Panel on Ecological Integrity of Canada's National Parks
Chris Wood, author, Dry Spring: The Coming Water Crisis of North America; former Nation Editor, Maclean’s Magazine

2. Macrame Project es un aporte más de EdensRose.org a la
comunidad y al mundo.
Cientos de mujeres de Tosagua, Manabí, han sido
capacitadas gratuitamente en la elaboración de tejidos
artesanales en Macramé. De este modo se ha recuperado
la memoria ancestral de las mujeres tejedoras de la zona y
se brinda la oportunidad de un trabajo digno que permite la
obtención de recursos para suplir las necesidades básicas
de cientos de familias.
Gracias por ser parte de este trabajo lleno de amor y
esperanza
