Excellent post Shalom, and I agree with your readers reply, above. Like Global Warming the world community needs to wake up and soon, I think FLOW did a great job of awakening us, at least those willing to watch and to act.

Great article Shalom, you bring up a lot of good points. One of the facts that I picked up from the documentary was that we spend three times more money on bottled water each year than it would take to provide the entire world with clean water. We clearly need to get our priorities straight and discovers ways to share our natural resources efficiently.

Heather, I tried to address conservation in the sixth point… perhaps without enough emphasis. Speaking for myself, when I’m mindful of my water use (and I’ve been extra mindful since writing this piece), and of the sacred nature of water, I tend to be more conserving of it. And when the awareness is really ratcheted up (as it was after seeing “Flow”), my inclination is to look for as many ways as possible to be more efficient with my water use, and to find new ways and technologies to help me in this process. Since it’s not my place to tell others what to do, I can only hope that this kind of awareness spreads on a wide scale, from the grassroots up.

good points all, but isn’t there any mandate to conserve here? more than just relating to others’ struggle?
