We’re all super excited to see the Water Hour website (www.waterhour.org) up and live, it’s been a long birthing process but now that it’s here we can really focus on getting the word out and the buzz happening! As I sit here imagining the scope of what this event could become, I feel such anticipation and hope. The idea is really to collaborate and unite through our common connection to water – after all, every one of us is nearly 70% made of the stuff, everyone from the Queen of England to an impoverished child in Haiti has some emotional connection to it.
We know that we’re facing one collosal crisis if we continue on this path, but at the same time we can’t change anything for the better if we are swept away with guilt and shame about the situation. We think that if you want to create positive change, you have to come from a positive place. Which is why you’ll see on the website we’re inviting everyone to reconnect to their most amazing memories around water, to get in touch with the awe and wonder of it again. And we’ve opened the floor for anyone to submit ideas on how we should mark the Hour, and to vote up their favorites - it can be any form of action, celebration, introspection, creativity or message-sending. We’d love to see social networks lighting up (well you know what I mean) with posts, photos, videos and tweets – a virtual tsunami of action happening all at once!
Water Hour is on June 11th at 8pm in your time zone, please help us get the word out by telling your friends, together we can create something really wonderful!
