    GUESTS: Leah Jones, VAIPL Community Outreach Coordinator and Kidest Gibre, VAIPL Communications & Education Coordinator 

    As this long year comes to a close we would like to look forward to the new year and think about the changes that we would like to see, especially as we approach the 2021 General Assembly in January. At VAIPL, this year we are advocating for various environmental justice issues including energy burden, modernizing transportation as well as the human right to water. Today, on this episode of ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NOW! we would like to talk about earth’s universal solvent, the most important resource to all living things on earth-- water. As many of us use water every day without an issue, it is easy to forget that on a global scale having clean water is actually a privilege.
