GroundWater Festival

We joined three other families for the Ground Water Festival. There were numerous sessions for us to choose from covering a huge range of water topics. We listened to an explanation on the workings of city plumming, wells, sorted recycling in a relay, pumped water for animals, learned how water feeds a sprinkler and ran through it. On a personal note I was reminded with numbers the disparity of water access with the average Canadian using 20 - 100litre buckets of water a day, while the average person from Uganda using less than 1 bucket a day. I was encouraged hearing that 3 feet of newspapers recycled saves one tree. These are things I knew, but feel empowered to live intentionally in hearing them.
