Ep 38 - Seth Bernard from the One Water Summit

In this special episode, State of Water host Seth Bernard checks in from this November’s One Water Summit in Tuscon, AZ, hosted by the US Water Alliance. Seth gives an intimate travel log style report sharing of inspiring connections, insightful conversations, and meaningful moments that will inform his work as he returns to Michigan. Seth attended the summit as part of the delegation of the Water Equity & Climate Resilience Caucus, joining frontline environmentalists from across the country as well as conference-goers representing many other sectors.
