Before I moved out of sunny California to go to college in Boston, I made a New Year’s Resolution to live more sustainably and to educate myself about the environmental dangers that my generation faces. Ever since, I’ve been joining activist groups, taking classes, and bugging my roommates to turn off their lights when they don’t need them. I have become especially interested in water rights, conservation, and sanitation—which would explain why I want to write this blog. BlueGranola allows me (and you too) to spread the word about the state of our world’s water: who’s lacking it, who’s polluting it, and who’s doing their part to protect it. But more important than “who” is “how.” How can we as global citizens save our most valuable resource through activism and advocacy? That’s the big problem we have to work together to solve; and in the meantime- keep being green and thinking blue.
