The following information is thanks to one of our class members:
"Liquid Assets - The Big Business of Water 'The host explores the coing water crisis as fresh water becomes harder to find" CNBC Thursday 30 October 9-10 pm
According to other class embers CNBC is available at Channel 68 on Cox cable and 102 on Verizon. The CNBC website does not give much additional information, but it sounds as if the broadcast will be worth watching.
Once again, by next session 6 October, please work out your water footprint. Go to the website at http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=cal/WaterFootprintCalculator
