Award-winning documentary How to Poison a Planet, featuring Mark Ruffalo, exposes the chemical industry’s long standing knowledge of the danger of “forever chemicals” and reveals the human cost in communities around the world.
Immerse yourself in the inspiring and thought-provoking world of water through film! Next year’s events promises to be bigger, better, and more impactful than ever.
Globally, we are either dealing with too much water (flooding), too little water (droughts), too polluted water (contaminated sources), or too expensive water (scarcity driving costs). Each of these issues carries significant environmental and social consequences.
When water becomes scarce or polluted, ecosystems suffer, and communities are directly impacted. Taking action for water is about more than just conservation; it's about continued education about the water crisis, addressing climate change and protecting the integrity of water sources.
And it starts with you.
By recognizing water's crucial role in our environment and culture, we can prioritize clean water access for everyone, protect vital ecosystems like wetlands and watersheds, and empower communities to take charge of their water resources.
