Water is Life | People, Planet & Health | EP:4

Описание: Water is at the basis of all life on earth. Organisms were formed in water, humans are made of 50-70% water, we drink it, eat plants and animals that live in or are sustained by it, we cleanse and recreate in it. Water is also highly symbolic in the Catholic Church; it is a key part of our faith throughout the Bible - from the waters of baptism to the sprinkling of holy water on our remains.

Join us in the discovery of the impact water has on us (and we have on it) in and around Atlanta and Montana. Water is so important for our health and spirit - we are capable of change and renewal!

Please tell us your stories about how water and waterways effect your life. Send us your ideas, photos or video: [email protected] or tag us in your social media post @Archatl
