\u201cThe definition of ethics from the Greek means customary or habitual and what’s customary or habitual with Americans regarding water use is that it’s\u00a0plentiful and it’s clean and we don’t have to think about it. We just use as\u00a0much as we want until some conflict arises.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"imgres-1\"If you think technology is going to be the big fix for issues and problems associated with the\u00a0\u00a0availability, use, and conservation of water, especially in the context of global warming, you might want to balance that view with a better understanding of how important is the ethic of water by listening to seven thoughtful leaders from\u00a0the Center for Humans and Nature<\/a>\u00a0as part of their project, \u00a0Fostering a Water Ethic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this Humans and Nature video, The Importance of a Water Ethic<\/a>, their contributors contemplate\u00a0the many compelling reasons why a water ethic is\u00a0essential for helping\u00a0us do\u00a0the right thing by each other,\u00a0by the generations that follow us, and by the whole community\u00a0of life.<\/p>\n

The video (12:39) features these EarthSayers addressing a water ethic and who are “thinking creatively about how people can make better decisions \u2014 in relationship<\/em> with each other and the whole community of life.”<\/p>\n
