Quotes
As Aldo Leopold is to the land ethic, Cynthia Barnett is to the water ethic.
— Kathleen Dean Moore, coeditor of Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril.
Barnett’s clarion call to her fellow citizens imagines an America where it’s ethically wrong to waste water. Using compelling stories from around the globe, she shows that America’s future depends upon our coming to value water — not only in the price we pay, but with profound appreciation for each drop.
— Robert Glennon, author of Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to Do About It
The roots of a new water ethic are found in the practices of millions of individuals, businesses, and other organizations around the world. Barnett shows how good water use practices can go viral, with massive benefits for society and nature. Blue Revolution offers affordable, practical, down-to-earth solutions. —Stephen R. Carpenter, Director of the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Winner of the 2011 Stockholm Water Prize
Of the new crop of books on water, this one may be the most important.
—Fred Pearce, author of When the Rivers Run Dry
