We're kicking into high gear for " Oil and Water", inspired to be writing a show about natural resources. The consequences of pollution, climate change, and impending scarcity are as sobering as the call for action is urgent. New this year, we invite you to be part of the learning process with us. As we continue to research these issues and interview experts, we will be regularly posting topical information and perspectives via Facebook. Please join our conversation by sharing environmental solutions and local & global actions!
