Global water crisis film offered

To the Editor,Are you thirsty? For many people in the Toledo area this past August, that became a complicated question. Over 500,000 individuals were cautioned not to drink from their tap for three days, even if the water had been boiled. The algae causing the contamination was linked to mega-farm run-off, as well as other sources Some of these mega-farms reside in southeast Michigan, particularly Lenawee County.When we connect the dots between what we put on our plates (i.e. food raised by the mega-farm system) and the water from our tap, it is clear that something needs to change.On October 23rd, at 6:30 pm, Sustainable Tecumseh and The Creative Care Team of The First Presbyterian Church are sponsoring a free viewing of the film, “Last Call At The Oasis.”The film presents the growing global water crisis and how it affects every community. An informal panel discussion will follow the film.Water is a vital resource, and its stewardship affects us all. Educating ourselves is the key to connecting the dots and making the changes needed to keep water fresh and flowing.We invite everyone to join us on October 23rd at the First Presbyterian Church, 211 West Chicago Blvd, Tecumseh, Michigan. Doors open at 6 p .m. Learn more about what each of us can do to preserve water in our communities.Maripat Perkins Sustainable Tecumseh Member
