Perspectives on a Planet
“Bob McDonald’s ability to to translate complex scientific information in a form that is both fascinating and easily understood by his audience is clearly a natural talent, as he demonstrated at the Partnership’s FLOWnGROW workshop,” wrote Eric Bonham, founding member of the Partnership for Water Sustainability, and moderator for Module A (Spirit & Science – An Inclusive Journey) at the workshop.
Spirit and Science – An Inclusive Journey
“Furthermore, the first module ‘Spirit and Science – An Inclusive Journey’, shared with Chief Aaron Sam and Michael Blackwater, provided a solid foundation and a context for the broad range of presentations that followed on specific water challenges facing the Okanagan and beyond.”
“It is becoming ever more evident that water, from the global to the local, is becoming the issue that will frame all future human endeavours, while protecting ecological systems.”
“Bob’s observation, as noted in his presentation of the small amount of freshwater available on earth at the outset, provides an incentive and a stark reminder that we steward this limited life sustaining resource to the best of our collective ability.”
