What would water tell us if it could talk? How can each of us strengthen our relationship with the waterways and water bodies near our homes? Our special guests from Ocean Wise and Water Rangers joined us to discuss these questions and more, as we covered as much territory as Canada has coastline (well, maybe not that much...). Here's what else we dove into in this Earthy Chat:
*need-to-know facts about salt water and freshwater
*the disconnection many people have with water and how this can be addressed
*the impacts of climate change on our waterways
*sustainable fishing and agricultural practices
*citizen science and community monitoring to fill large data gaps
*action steps like the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup and reducing the use of road salt
