Climate change, where to begin? A topic that is constantly making front pages, always being debated and seemingly - still - changing for the worse.

IWSH is the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene foundation. The foundation focuses on health, prosperity, and to help provide a better world with clean and sanitary water globally. IWSH beliefs along with CAWST, WE and the United Nations Goal 6 all have one goal in common and that is to help create a better world. With the help of these other organizations it brings in a larger skilled workforce to design and build the much-needed water and sanitation systems. These three organizations have broader connections globally which allows for larger opportunities for them to accomplish their goals. This will be a new change since IWSH mainly has worked with the USA, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Indonesia in the past.

What does one think of when they hear the word green? For most, it is trees, grass, a thriving environment, a delicate nature, etc. The problem is, if humans continue to live the way that they have for the past couple of centuries, there is not going to be any more green. The world is changing at an incredibly fast rate, starting with our climate. In order to combat and reverse the atrocious impact on our green Earth known as climate change, people not only need to start seeing green, they need to start living green.
