A big thank you to Michael Campana for including the UN video on this great informative website.

We are all connected, and we have to work together to solve this massive issue of water. It's time to get serious about having fun ways to teach people...Let's Do It!

Very amusing. I only knew 3 people: Doug Bennet from L.V. (why were there so many other people sitting behind his name?), Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn?), and Michael Campana. Was it a useful event? Did you all learn things from each other?
