Our first season is coming to a close, Curious Ones, and we saved the best for last!
Today we bring you a conversation with the brilliant and thoughtful Sarah Brennan, who is the deputy program manager for NASA's water resource program area.
An expert on the water cycle, Sarah answered all our questions – like:
What’s the most responsible thing we can do to better manage our water? (The answer surprised us!)
Is it bad to flush spoiled food down the toilet?
How much water do we have access to, and is it clean?
What is gray water or brown water, and how can we reuse it?
What gives Sarah hope as we look to the future?
If you want to be a more informed steward of our precious planet, you won’t want to miss this one.
