“The good news about fresh water is that, even after accounting for the larger volume of water that is unavailable to people from the hydrologic cycle, there is enough on a global scale to support current and anticipated populations on a sustainable basis... Three essential goals are dependable and safe supplies for people, protection and management of the environmental systems through which water moves, and efficient water use. Meeting these goals will require that fresh water not continue to be treated as a free good or as the principal means for disposing of human and industrial wastes.” PeopleHumansMeanEnoughUseMovingThreeGoalWaterSupportSafeEssentialsWasteNewsBasesManagementMeetingsEnvironmentalPopulationCurrentsProtectionScalesTreatedCyclesEfficientPrincipalVolumeGood NewsSuppliesAccountingUsing MeDependableFresh Water Author:Gilbert F.

“The whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. I’ll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and they’re all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. I’m not out there banging a drum for candidates. But I have supported a candidate and it’s a whole other world.” PeopleWorldSometimesWholeSeemsLinesWatchesSupportPiecesNewsNotionBoxesArguingNewspapersInsanityCandidatesFormulasFoxesOther WorldsClawsCnnBangingBetween The LinesRead Between The Lines Author:Mel Gibson
“What the rest of the world knows about Mexico is what they see on films and the bad news they see on TV. We need to make films that are worthy of who we really are as Mexicans. We also need to make cinema that reflects the diversity in the region, so that Americans and Europeans know who Mexicans are, who Salvadorians are, who Cubans are, etc. We need to do it, and all we really need is support because we have the talent.” KnowsWorldNeedsFilmSupportTalentTvsDiversityNewsWorthyCinemaEtcRegionsMexicoBad NewsCuban Author:Kate del Castillo
“It's very rare to find a place where news itself has a political bent. Normally, let's say in the U.K. for instance, newspapers might explicitly support one party or the other, but television is just straight-up facts that are not influenced by any party from either side. In South Africa we try to maintain the same thing. Unfortunately, the government sometimes intervenes, but for the most part, the facts are the facts.” TryingSometimesFactsGovernmentMightPoliticalSidesPartySupportTelevisionNewsSouthNewspapersInstanceSouth AfricaBentStraight Up Author:Trevor Noah
