Drinking Water Policy and Advocacy Panel Discussion (with Dinner)
Inspired by the on-site water treatment system at Hampshire’s R.W. Kern Center and our Environmental Center, we’ll examine the intersection of policy, technology, and environmental justice in drinking water: What policies and structures shape our current systems? Who is well served by these systems, and who isn’t? And how can we provide safe, sustainable, and equitable access to drinking water for all?
Join a “deep dive” on drinking water. We’ll discuss the policies that shape our water systems, issues of equity and access, and how to be an effective advocate for safe and sustainable water. Bring your questions!
