Maude Barlow: Our Right to Water

We are running out of fresh, clean water.  Here in Puget Sound we are lucky to have an abundant supply, but around the world people are dying because their water is dirty. Maude Barlow even says when private companies deny people living in poor communities access to clean water, it's tantamount to murder. Barlow is the author of Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water. She chairs Canada's largest public advocacy group, the Council of Canadians. Maude Barlow spoke at Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle on April 14, 2008.
