Protect & Enjoy: 'an absurd boondoggle'



You might think the recent lack of ocean desalination conversation has been a "no news is good news" situation, but as we find out in this week's podcast, proponents of Poseidon's huge, expensive, creature-killing project have only slowed down as a political strategy.

We do offer some good news, however, as our chapters continue to thrive despite the current limitations on in-person gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's one cool example: our San Francisco and Marin chapters are co-hosting a premiere of She is the Ocean, a film following nine extraordinary water women across the globe. The screening takes place Saturday evening and features a Q&A with the director and chapter volunteers after.
