“I want to influence the way we live related to how water shapes our lives. I see a real need to educate people and to make changes that can be long lasting and address issues such as climate change, heat related illness and the way our cities operate. My method is through a ‘systems thinking’ approach that looks at the interaction of all aspects of our lives linking back to water.”
