Activism suggestions to address global clean water crisis

Young wunder-kind Richie Vernillo, a junior in high school, began making films when he was 7 years old, and at 16 owns his own green screens and lights, and is an expert at motion graphics and digital design. He is in the Media Arts Honor Society.

His film advocates activism in the Clean Water Movement - a consciousness that began in his Human Geography class. "Knowing some states could run out of fresh water within 5 years is frightening", says Richie. "I did the film with motion graphics so it would be visually appealing like a commercial and grab the viewers attention. I spent about one month researching and two months making the film entirely from scratch."

Richie, Excellent video. There is another organization that has been at the forefront of water issues for almost a century. It is a United Nations recognized NGO and is called JNF and shares it's immense knowledge and experience with countries throughout the world(African and Moslem countries especially)
