Let’s Talk Sh*t
What if one of the biggest climate and health solutions on Earth is something we have all been sitting on for centuries? The toilet.
Damned, or Hope on the High Plains
Beamed to you with love from Wildcat Bluff Discovery Center, Amarillo Texas
Our work & media came to the attention of producers at Panhandle PBS early on. They, like all leaders in our community, know that the socioeconomic health of our future is constrained by access to freshwater. This is not a slow-motion natural disaster, but it's an artificial one, of our own making & a necessary result of our legal framework. The rule of law, as great as it is, is riddled with biases, inequities, outright false conclusions and worships precedent. The laws regarding the extraction of groundwater in Texas have an easily traceable lineage - its' how it is because thats' how it was done in ancient rome. WTF!
Anyways, we were honored to spend some time last week filming an interview w/ Panhandle PBS Sr. Producer. Part of a docuseries in the works. The working title & byline is wonderful - I recognize some of our own rhetoric which makes me happy!
The Rain We Keep: the Quest to Re-Hydrate the Plains
Congrats on all the recent press! Love the documentary title!
I was impressed at your perseverance on the Local Bloom leaders call this week, when you mentioned how long the rain cycles can be there, that sometimes it's years before people helping make the leaky dams see the results of their work!
You're a legend. I hope to see what you're doing scale, along with compatible methods like changing what crops people are growing to ones that provide the same economic returns but don't require drawing water from the aquifer. We really need millions of people doing these techniques, ASAP.
