Know any water leaders? Tell Water’s Next

Everyone knows that Canada is water rich, but with great abundance comes great irresponsibility. Water’s Next is one group seeking to push against that freshwater tide of willful waste and bad policy. It is a big contest held by Water Canada where anyone can nominate people, businesses, projects, and innovations that are changing the way Canadians use water (full disclosure: I am on the selection committee). Head over to nominate anyone or thing that demonstrates whole new ways of using water resources: it could be a smart policy, innovative research, a community that’s harnessing new ideas, or an individual pushing the conversation forward.

My only question: why not have communities as a category instead of innovation? Every category has people providing innovations I think, and town and cities are where much of the problem is, and so where change needs to be made.

    Thanks for spreading the word, Peter!

    Your suggestion is noted. I really like the idea of a communities category, and we’ll certainly look at applying it in year three.
