Arlene Slocombe of the Wellington Water Watchers was featured today in honour of today being World Water Day. We talked about the impact of the extraction & bottling of groundwater, alternatives to bottled water, community interactions around water, and more.
Arlene Slocombe has been actively involved and committed to the work of the Wellington Water Watchers since its founding in 2007. She has been employed as Executive Director since 2009. Arlene, her partner, and two children live a simple off grid life along the banks of the Eramosa River just southeast of Guelph. Here she embodies her ethics about living with a small footprint and living in connection with the land. While collecting the water that she and her family drink from a spring that bubbles from the ground by her home, Arlene has had the privilege to viscerally experience the sacred nature of water that sustains all life.
