I am a human rights attorney and have worked around the globe on conflicts, being witness to the impact of water and resource depletion on communities around the globe. I hope to share this understanding with learners and help young people to begin to think about the impact that they can have, for good and bad, on our planets ability to continue to produce enough clean water to maintain a healthy environment.
