On #WorldWaterDay , we are reminded that the global water crisis does not affect everyone equally.
Water for equality means safety, dignity & opportunity. When water flows close to home, women & girls can live, learn & lead without fear.
Where water flows, equality grows.

Listen to @TheCurrentCBC interview with @KavehMadani Dir of @UNUINWEH, the UN 'think tank on water' for a compelling summary of their recent report on #GlobalWaterBankruptcy. unu.edu/inweh/news/world-ent…. Listen here: cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-6…
BANKRUPT! Dr. @KavehMadani exposes the uncomfortable truth in recent @UNUINWEH #GlobalWaterBankruptcy report that the world has squandered its water resources. There is no return to what we had, but if we take immediate and decisive action there is a chance to save what we have.
At the launch of the Global Water Bankruptcy report at the UN Headquarters press briefing in New York, Kaveh Madani, Director of UNU-INWEH, states that the old normal is gone and presents Global Water Bankruptcy as a diagnosis of persistent system failure.

It's time to take stock and to take action. Water is not a luxury but a necessity for all. Please read this report and start advocating for a concerted global effort to protect our water. Our collective future depends on it. unu.edu/inweh/collection/glo…

Start recycling @TimHortons. Stopped at your store in Tweed,ON and found that both inside and outside bins had no recyclable options. Given the amount of plastic and paper you generate this is really not acceptable. Defend our environment like Tim defended his. Thx for wooden🍴

We gathered in Oakville today with FM @AnitaAnandMP who reminded us not to glorify war but remember the sacrifices of those who had the courage to protect our freedom and democracy. #ReflectRespectRemember and
teach our children to honour their legacy by keeping the peace.
