GreenDrinks November 20th @ 7:00 PM
An Inconvenient Truth of Water.
"Imagine a world in twenty years, in which no substantive progress has been made to provide basic wastewater service in the Third World, or to force industry and industrial agriculture production to stop polluting water systems, or to curb the mass movement of water by pipeline, tanker and other diversion, which will have created huge new swaths of desert."
"Desalination plants will ring the world's oceans, many of them run by nuclear power; corporate nanotechnology will clean up sewage water and sell it to private utilities who will sell it back to us at a huge profit; the rich will drink only bottled water found in the few remote parts of the world left or sucked from the clouds by machines, while the poor die in increasing numbers. This is not science fiction. This is where the world is headed unless we change course."
Books will be available to purchase at this venue courtesy of Oxford Books. Maude Barlow will be available for signing.

*****Pre-Event Dinner @ 5pm
We will meet at 5 pm at the Moose Lodge on Weston, east off of Wellington, just south of the river. I figure we will be out of there by 6:30 to get a good seat. Open invitation for all greendrinkers - if anyone has questions they can email me Louise (louhollingsworth@yahoo.ca) .
