holistic global water agreement

Perspective for your consideration …What does it look like when it’s fixed…?

World needs global water agreement now …Environmental News Network... WWF

Attained under a format where everyone is granted time for their voice to be courteously heard and honored such a global water agreement, I believe, would not contain the legalese minutia filling similar documents we choose today to break even before the ink is dry.

While the document itself, I believe, would be quite short, the process utilized to obtain voluntary consensus based “buy-in” globally appears from our contemporary perspective quite arduous requiring far too much time. To grant everyone time to be expressed and honestly heard, requires in some cases more than the token 3 minutes arbitrarily and capriciously allocated especially to the “little” people.

And this process is messy and requires time. Time is a factor in everything we do, most especially when it comes to promulgating restrains in any form by which man is to live harmoniously with others upon a planet seemingly shrinking in size while its population burgeons.

There is no doubt we can should we choose to seek equitable solutions to the current inequities around water in all its forms around our globe. It requires us to leave our bias, prejudices, proprietary, national, religious, cultural beliefs at the door entering such discussions to the extent we are able with an open mind. This is not easily attained and just as easily dismissed once we leave and into our “real” world return.

There is no doubt at some time, the specific date, time and place, I do not know, that we will all choose to sit down wherever we are and from a place of serenity find the solution not only to water but about what for us “it” looks like when it’s fixed.
