Public water should not be put up for sale, ever. I'm not confident about this coalition because words are important - their words sound like they are OK negotiating sales of public water - it sounds like covert greenwashing. We need degrowth of ecocide industries & watershed protection for ecological, environmental & human rights purposes - above all other purposes.
Commodifying public water is not in the best interests of the public.#BlueGold #BCpoli #CDNpoli #WaterIsLife #Environmental #ecological #Watersheds #WaterProtectors #BCWatershedSecurityFund #PacificNorthwest #ClimateAction #Cascadia #PNW #sustainability #WaterStewardship #ProtecfWater #BCNDP #Freshwater #BCWatershedSecurityCoalition #NonPartisan

Right now, #BritishColumbia has the lowest industrial #water rates in #Canada - effectively giving away one of our most vital #PublicResources to some of the world’s largest industries. Meanwhile, communities are left struggling to fund the response to worsening droughts, floods, wildfires, and drinking water crises.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Bringing BC’s industrial water rates in line with other provinces is a fair, practical way to:
Fund stronger watershed security
Support sustainable economic growth.
Keep communities safe and resilient to floods, fires, and water shortages.
Safeguard BC jobs, grow food, and protect the economy — every industry depends on water.
Do it all without costing taxpayers a dime.
This is a simple, fair, and fiscally responsible solution that will build long-term watershed security across BC.https://www.watershedsecurity.ca/home/water-giveaway/
Investing in #WatershedSecurity aligns with the values of a significant majority of voters, as 78% of British Columbians want to see major investments from the provincial government to protect freshwater in BC.

Clean Up the Beach in #solidarity with #Heiltsuk Nation
June 8 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Join RAVEN and #Surfrider for a World Oceans Day beach cleanup, where we’ll be fundraising for Heiltsuk Nation’s legal challenge that aims to protect #marine #ecosystems from coast to coast to coast.This year, we’re choosing to engage in #community reciprocity not just for our own local #watersheds, but as an act of solidarity with Heiltsuk Nation, whose own beach cleanup — following the Nathan E. Stewart spill — is so much more complex.
So, come out to #CloverPoint in Victoria on Sunday, June 8, 2025 from 11am-1pm for a community-powered beach cleanup. Together we are aiming to fundraise $2,000 for Heiltsuk’s legal challenge on #WorldOceansDay.

Human use of fire has produced an era of uncontrolled burning: Welcome to the #Pyrocene
by Stephen Pyne, The Conversation, January 22, 2025
"#LosAngeles is burning, but it isn't alone. In recent years, fires have blasted through cities in #Colorado, the southern #Appalachians and the island of #Maui, along with #Canada, #Australia, #Portugal and #Greece. What wasn't burned was smoked in.
"Is this another case of a future not only dire but strange, without a narrative to join past to present or an analog for what is to come?
"I'm a historian of fire, and my reply is that we have both a narrative and an analog. The narrative is the unbroken saga of humanity and fire, a companionship that extends through all our existence as a species. The analog is that humanity's fire practices have become so vast, especially in recent centuries, that we are creating the fire equivalent of an ice age."
[...]
Welcome to the Pyrocene
"Widen the aperture a bit, and we can envision Earth entering a fire age comparable to the ice ages of the Pleistocene, complete with the pyric equivalent of ice sheets, pluvial lakes, periglacial outwash plains, mass extinctions and sea-level changes. It's an epoch in which fire is both prime mover and principal expression.
"Humanity's firepower underpins the #Anthropocene, which is the outcome not just of #anthropogenic meddling but of a particular kind of meddling, made possible by humans' species monopoly over fire. Even climate history has become a subset of fire history.
"Fires in living landscapes, fires burning lithic landscapes—the interaction of these two realms of fire has not been much studied. It's been enough of a stretch to fully include human fire practices within traditional ecology. Yet humans—the keystone species for fire on Earth—are merging the two arenas of earthly burning with a give and take that is reshaping the planet in what resembles a slow-motion #Ragnarok.
"Add up all the effects, direct and indirect: the ice driven off by fire, the areas burning, the biogeographical #migrations as biotas move to accommodate changed conditions, the collateral impacts with damaged #watersheds and #airsheds, the unraveling of #ecosystems, the pervasive power of #ClimateChange, #RisingSeaLevels, a #MassExtinction, the disruption of human life and habitats. The result is a #pyrogeography that looks eerily like an ice age for fire. You have a maturing Pyrocene.
"If you doubt it, just ask California."

What does it take for a massive civilizational infrastructure to manage its catchments, #watersheds, #wetlands, & #forests as preventative solutions to #drought AND #flooding? I hope someone's asking questions like this (without threat of being suppressed, or worse, for saying so).
"Mexico City could run out of drinking #water by the end of June, an event locals call "#DayZero."
#MexicoCity has long struggled to bring water to its millions of residents, but 3 consecutive years of low rainfall & high temperatures have created a serious emergency.
The Cutzamala water system — a series of treatment plants, reservoirs, & canals that provide water to tens of millions of people — is running dry.
About 40% of Mexico City's water is lost due to leaky pipes."

@Pollinators Before he died, my friend / colleague Toby Hemenway wrote this wonderful story about #beavers (we published it in the magazine, too).
"As Bill Mollison has observed, everything gardens. The beaver, however, goes far beyond simple #gardening to feats of complex #ecosystem transformation. Beaver don’t merely build dams that create #ponds. They control the flow of vast amounts of energy and material. With tough incisors and instinct, beavers create a shifting mosaic of moist and dry meadows, wet forests, #marshes, #bogs, streams, and open water that change the climate, nutrient flow, vegetation, wildlife, #hydrology, and even #geology of entire #watersheds." https://tobyhemenway.com/150-the-watershed-wisdom-of-the-beaver/ #permculture -
