World Water Day 2009: Events around the globe on March 22
How cool is this photo, entitled "water fireworks" by Gadling photo contributor Jon Rawlinson? If you look at the enlarged photo, the light creates star-shaped, firework-like reflections on the water. Beautiful.
World Water Day was conceived over ten years ago by a United Nations committee as an international day of observance for the critical role water plays in our lives. Whether we live in an urban or rural environment, we cannot live without and must find a way to both conserve and utilize it wisely.
From global events like the "Activism and Water Rights Webinar" to a World Water Day hike in Morro Bay, there are things happening all over the world to raise awareness of water conservation. Check out all of the events happening on or around March 22, or find your own way to consider how to celebrate, appreciate, and learn about water.
I recently helped a student write a poem about water conservation for a statewide poetry contest held by Hawaii's Board of Water Supply. The theme this year: "Ola I Ka Wai" (Water Gives Life). It appears efforts are happening within schools all over the globe to educate kids on what can be done to save this precious resource.
