As part of UUFSM's 40/40 Earth Day Challenge we will be showing the film Blue Gold, World Water Wars at the Lexington Park library on Thursday, 12 May at 7 PM.  This 90-minute documentary by Sam Bozzo, based on the book by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke, sheds light on the world's rapidly approaching water crisis and suggests that wars of the future will be fought over water.  Numerous examples of people fighting for their basic right to water, from court cases to violent revolutions to U.N. conventions, are presented.  The film posits that past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management and asks: Will ours survive?

A Thought for the Day

We pledge to walk together in the ways of truth and affection, as best we know them now or may learn them in the days to come, that we and our children may be fulfilled and that we may speak to the world in words and action of peace and goodwill.

— Covenant of the Pilgrims
