About

We here at AlterNet believe Water Consciousness is an important addition to the global discussion of the environment and our natural resources.

Here are some points to consider:

• The water crisis, linked to global warming, is the largest environmental challenge facing the U.S. and the world, and is increasingly becoming a huge news focus.

• This volume assembles the top environmental writers and thinkers including Bill McKibben, Maude Barlow, Vandana Shiva, Wenonah Hauter and Tony Clarke.

• The book is designed to be both practical and beautiful. It presents readers with the best information in the most accessible format, including colorful images, charts, and other visuals, as well as a photo essay.

• The water crisis is a daunting problem but the book is solution-focused, and will motivate readers to become engaged

• AlterNet Books draws on a huge readership from AlterNet.org, which includes over 3 million monthly visitors to the site who care about environmental and progressive issues

Water Consciousness: How We All Have to Change to Protect Our Most Critical Resource is a solution-focused guide to the global water crisis hitting home everywhere. In-depth essays from leading thinkers and stunning photographs illuminate what we can do as individuals and as nations to reverse this crisis. Authors cover a breadth of topics including conservation, privatization, technology, grassroots movements, and the need for new laws that treat water as a common trust, not a commodity. Water Consciousness will not only inspire you to change how you think about water but also to change how you live with and use water every day.
