The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water

March 22nd is World Water Day, and the Surfrider Foundation is preparing to show us the real story of our water usage through a video titled: The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water. The video tells the story about how our water management system is connected to problems happening along our coastlines, but also offers some smart solutions for sustainable practices moving forward. Watch the video below.

From the Surfrider Foundation's Know Your H2O website:

Created through a collaboration of volunteer Surfrider activists, The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water evolved into a 20-minute video explaining the connection between environmental problems on the coast and our outdated water management system. It explains the problems we face and offers solutions to improve the process and (re)use this precious resource wisely. The myopia of our society leads decision makers to propose and rely on short-term solutions to long-term problems, at the expense of our resources. For example, leaders propose desalination to create the renewable resource of water, but rely on the use of a non-renewable source of energy to do it. Short-sighted thinking led us into this Cycle of Insanity.
