Building a Sustainable Indianapolis Metro Region

Pamela Napier

It takes our community to solve our water problems. It takes many communities to solve global problems.

FYI :: Interesting Opportunity ::

Even if we optimize all water usage in the world, scientists assert that there still will not be enough freshwater to sustain every person on Earth by 2025. THIS IS A CRISIS. But no one person can solve the global freshwater crisis alone, we have to do it together.

As concerned citizens and humans, we are searching for community members to participate in developing local, innovative solutions that address our part in the global freshwater crisis. With your involvement, we want to reframe how people think about and manage water, reevaluate how we solve water issues, and inspire people to act.

This initiative is forming in response to an international challenge to redesign the future of water. As part of this process, our efforts may be presented at the UN World Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark next fall.

Would you be willing to share your ideas, passion, and work toward this endeavor?

Your involvement could be as much or as little as you choose.

Join the conversation, or e-mail us back to see how you can be involved.

thus we recycle our used water and also sea water surrounding the island to provide the population of 6 million people safe drinking water.
