With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Montreal are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. In \u003ci\u003eWhose Water Is It, Anyway?\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Concluding with a step-by-step guide to making your own community blue, Maude Barlow’s latest book is a heartening example of how ordinary people can effect enormous change.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t","brand":"Maude Barlow (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":57444375429280,"sku":"9781770414303","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_2cec33f2-e18c-49f3-bd03-2a87ffe3b5ce.jpg?v=1780096143","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781770414303","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
