that everyone in quite a large geographic area can see it.
It strikes me that this is where bioregions really come into play, that the catchment area of a river is a bioregion.
Get together with all the people in the catchment area of whatever river is your local river, because you will have a local river.
It should be second nature.
Yes, it's a good idea to pour sewage into the rivers.
Yeah, right.

It has to become a life issue so that the couple with their nine-month-old baby can float the child in the river without risking that they might kill it with E. coli poisoning.
Okay.
And that's what I want to leave people with is wherever you are in the world, your local river is almost certainly going to have been polluted by some kind of industrial something or other.
And uniting your local community over the idea of clean water is one way that we get to start talking across the political divides.

We have to find the ways to reunite people about the things in their community that they care about.
And water has to be one of the absolute fundamentals that we can do this.

And if there isn't, you can make it happen.
And even if you don't make it happen this year, there's going to be another World Water Day next year on the 22nd of March.
And heaven help us, as long as we're not in the middle of World War Three by then, you can do things that will count.
