This summer, myself and three co-workers went to the Branson IMAX theatre to watch a powerful movie about water conservation. MacGillvray Freeman’s Grand Canyon Adventure-River at Risk is a must see for everyone. The film is narrated by Robert Reford and the soundtrack is music from the Dave Matthew’s Band (one of my personal favorites). We left the movie invigorated and motivated, feeling certain this movie would make a profound impact on everyone who watched it. The website is www.grandcanyonadventurefilm.com, please check out this incredible film.
Another film about global water quantity/quality coming out in September is FLOW. You can watch a trailer for the film at www.flowthefilm.com
Two main reasons I support organic farming-it uses less water & it doesn’t use pesticides that pollute the surrounding water supplies. To me, water conservation is every one’s responsibility. There are parts of the United States that are suffering from severe drought and water conservation is a key issue. Even though I live in a water rich area, our community is embracing water conservation practices. Some examples are planting rain gardens and using bioswales to capture storm runoff, using rain barrels to capture rain water to water gardens and lawns, and landscaping with native plants that require less water and have deeper root systems. Clean, abundant water is our most precious resource, conserving it for future generations is a necessity. God Bless the billions of people who live without access to clean water on a daily basis.
Together we can make a difference-Kelly
