This week is National Water Week, October 19-25.
Every third week of October, the Australian Water Association organises National Water Week and makes a splash across Australia, inspiring individuals, communities and organisations to build awareness around the importance of water. Access to clean water is crucial to our daily lives, and we are all responsible for protecting our water environments and using water wisely.
Q: What does 2040 Producer Damon Gameau say?
A: We are on the precipice of peril and possibility at the same time.
Damon is referring to the climate crisis.
In the final week of Term 3 our students joined Daramalan for a live Q&A with Damon to follow up on what has happened since he made the film 2040 which was screened to the entire Merici student body in 2019.
Damon updated us on several of the sustainability promoting solutions in the film including microgrids, 3D ocean farming and vertical ocean farming of seaweed.
For all upcoming news and events, please see our What's On newsletter attached below.
