ECOLOGIC- about freshwater

As an educator, I have always been conscious of how we, artists & designers (specifically those specialising in the practical and material based disciplines like ceramics, textiles, wet photography, jewellery, glass design and the fine arts of painting and sculpture, etc) that consume a lot of fresh water. It seems to be a huge concern for all of us that we must be ethical in managing and disposing of waste water, finishing chemicals and solvents because it makes sense financially and ecologically.

Freshwater is not only the most valuable resource in the future but also right here and now. Australians today buy expensive and wasteful bottled water arguably more than any country in the world.

You only have to visit any convenience stores springing up all over Sydney and see how many brands there are on offer but that's not my point. It stands to reason why green business should try to manage our fresh water supply while it is the rainy season (the wettest year since 1959).
