Water is one of the world's most valuable resources and with our Earth being covered by 70% water, it is vital that we take care of our oceans. I am a lover of all our planet's resources: trees, water, air, and land and it makes me really mad that we humans are daily destroying all of these precious gifts.
The ocean is the key to humanities survival. Right now in Flint, Michigan their water is undrinkable and the author of this book states that now is not a day to soon for us to begin social, financial and political order around water. Based on a revolutionary paradigm shift toward a "new hydraulic society", individuals can be taught the necessity of change, the moral responsibility and the reality of the consequences if we don't act in time.
This book, "The Once and Future Ocean" by Peter Neill shows us all that the ocean is where we humans turn to for our fresh water, food, energy, health, political stability, security, community development and personal renaissance. With 7.4 billion people on this Earth putting such demands on the condition of the oceans, water supply is being ruined at a very fast rate. Neill has a solution, if everyone will come together and work to build new modes of living around our oceans.
