Space race for Clean Water

Who do you see as the 21 people we could best connect networks around if we want to save clean water from being lost to the world. Please make nominations of people that you would be able to try to contact if we get our first cluster of 21 identified in this thread. And do advise us at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you'll start a parallel local gobal thread on another space race.

Our network at www.simpol.org nominates
CW1 Franklin Frederick, Brazilian, founding International Free Water Academy, web will soon be built by pledges from Swizerland; Franklin helped get the Catholic Church of Brazil to make 2004 Year of Water in all their 7000 parishes; he networks with all concerend with human rights of water; S America and Brazil in particular is identified as where wars for underground water will start if water becomes the 21st C oil; quite likely because clean water is running out and unlike energy has no substitutes; Brazil also has the world's largest dam, and in its water basins around Foz over 100 projects have started (these were shown at the London embassy in Brazil in a talk co-presented by Franklin). A favourite project of mine : 80000 kids and several thousands teachers are developing a curriculum on how all their lives are systemically connected by water

CW2 aSIN nominates Rick Nelson, Canadian now in London - epicentre of the inventors network for algae architecures; if we're going to reverse global warming (today 85 Evangelics came out for this) or dicover clean energy, as well as collect water in humid climates; then photosynthesis is the best clue, and Rick's been connecting folk around this for most of his life. It suddenly taking off with all sorts of prototypes and the support of the sustainability investment funds at www.omniworlview.com

CW3 AMED sustainability 10-year study group : These days Barry Coates is Director of Oxfam New Zealand where water is a core project. For about 8 years he helped form one of London's most extraordinary youth campaign movement at http//www.wdm.org.uk - how he gets over a thousand youth to turn up and listen to latest briefings on GATTS and other global policy issues, heaven knows. Water has become one of WDM policy foci
