Rivers, streams, and lakes serve as the lifeblood of our environment, vital for sustaining all life forms. If water is the lifeblood, then the surrounding land is the muscles and bones, shaping and supporting this vital system. A healthy waterway is a sign of a thriving environment, capable of nurturing a diverse range of plant and animal species. It's a delicate balance, where adequate water supply and the rich biological diversity supported by watersheds are the cornerstones of social well-being, ecological harmony, and economic prosperity. Muskoka Watershed Council is a volunteer community organization that champions the stewardship of our water resources and protects the ecosystems that depend on them—striving for a world where water and land work in harmony to sustain life and prosperity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WHAT: Final Round of the Open POTUS forums WHO: Green Party of Alaska, sponsored by the Houston Grass Station and Good Titrations WHEN: 4pm (Alaska Standard) WHERE: Green Party of Alaska You Tube Channel, watch party at Good Titrations in Fairbanks, Alaska You are invited to experience the once in a lifetime exchange between presidential candidates, Brittany Jones, and the artist known as Afroman. In the third and final round of the Open POTUS presidential forums. Organized by the Green Party of Alaska, you will learn that you have options beyond those given by the mainstream. With support from Good Titrations in Fairbanks, people have had the opportunity to watch the events in person and discuss them together. Sponsored by the Houston Alaska Grass station, Afroman and Ms. Jones will square off on the debate stage, giving you a glimpse into policies and platforms that are relevant to the people and routinely ignored by elected officials. Moderated by First Alaskans leader, Meda Dewitt, these forums provide the fundamental foundation of freedom which is the ability to make choices. Celebrating diversity is a hallmark of the American spirit and the constant erosion of these essential freedoms is why the majority of people, 70 % by some estimates, don’t want a rematch of Trump and Biden. Yet here we are, a little over 7- months from the election on November 2nd, and the people do not feel represented, respected, or relief of change in November. While we cannot speculate as to whether or not these candidates represent you but just like our friends over at Free and Equal, we are doing what we can to preserve your right to choose. The Green Party of Alaska stands with the planet and her people. Permaculture principles, regenerative economics, and capacity building investments are economically viable solutions that protect and restore the health of the natural world by shifting from consumption to reliable innovation as the driver for progress, profit, and peace. Learn more about our priorities, platforms, and principles at Alaska-greens.org.

Happy World Water Day! It's a great time to reflect on your relationship with water: where does your water come from? How do you connect with your local waterways - rivers, wetlands, lakes, aquifers, oceans? What are your obligations to water? And if you're in Colorado Springs next week, come and join me for a chat about rivers as living entities, and what this can mean for our relationship with them. https://lnkd.in/g2BsWnAp
