I grew up on the coast of Northern California and have seen firsthand how contaminated water harms the health of humans and wild ecosystems.

As a member of H2OO’s RAISE initiative – Regenerative Agriculture and Indigenous Systems for our Environment – I learned so much and was presented with numerous opportunities to take concrete steps and action including engaging with communities directly that are affected by conventional degenerative agricultural practices.

By changing our industrial agricultural practices to traditional decolonized practices, we take a significant step toward ensuring everyone on this planet has access to clean water.
