'This is a must-read.' — Jane Fonda

The Blue Communities Project encourages communities around the world to support the idea that water is a shared resource for all. To do this, the project offers resolutions that recognize water and sanitation as human rights, ban or phase out the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at public events, and promote publicly financed, owned, and operated water and wastewater services. Blue Communities is a short, practical handbook on how you can advocate for your community to become a blue community, and gives a history of the movement that started the project.

Industry Reviews

“Water inflates cells of all life forms, enables biological metabolism, transports materials throughout our bodies and around the world and provides an aqueous environment for our first nine months of life. Water is not a ‘resource’ or ‘economic opportunity’ but a sacred gift from Nature that is our responsibility to protect and use sparingly so that all life on Earth may flourish. This book is a blueprint for communities around the world to take back that responsibility and maintain water as a human right.” — David Suzuki
