NonA Weekly: H2O
Hi there,
To start the discussion around the theme H2O, this week we will start from the basics.
Water is a precious and limited resource. Since the foundation of early human settlements, water has been the main driver to define the way people lived and prospered. Historically it has been a primary resource for life, a safety issue, a source of energy, a key ecosystem, an element for climate control, a stage for recreation and beautification of the living environment.
But what makes this subject so relevant today and for our future?

The beauty of the Arctic is overwhelming. The cold, the silence and extraordinary sounds as the ice creaks, rumbles and falls. The pristine environment, with life popping out to welcome you when you least expect it. A unique place that people across the world want to protect. Italian Pianist Ludovico Einaudi performed “Elegy for the Arctic,” his own composition, on a floating platform in the ARTIC OCEAN in front of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier in Svalbard, an archipelago in Norway.
Stay creative and see you all next week!
