World Water Day 2023

In celebration of World Water Day, we're feeling gratitude to the life giving power of water. We're made of water, we travel through water, we paddle on the water, it is the most critical of resources.

Protecting our oceans, lakes, and waterways is the responsibility of each of us.

Earth's water resources face numerous threats: pollution, reckless waste, and increasing privatization to name a few. Many species call the water home, and all life is dependent on a healthy and unrestricted hydrologic cycle. These challenges are daunting, and too big for one person to tackle alone.

You can help by fostering a relationship with water, and learning to care for its use in sustainable ways. Your efforts will spread by example, and others will feel inspired to follow your lead. For the love of water, amplify your voice using waterkeeping hashtags like #LifeUnleahed, #Flow, #WaterKeepers, #Water, #Ocean.

In honour of the day, we're sharing a poem that speaks to the ubiquity of H₂O:

An Ode to Water

I am water

The origin of life,

I stir within you

As you tread within me

You were born to float,

to dive, to sail,

and drink

You were born to share me

I am water, and I'm

everywhere beneath your feet

and above your head

leaving comet tails among the stars

You build vessels

to hold me, and to be held up by me;

I carried you to the far shores

of adventure and discovery

Be a proud wellspring,

be a source for others,

be as though I have been;

Indomitable and free
