Matt Damon & Gary White | The Worth of Water | Talks at Google

Matt Damon & Gary White discuss their recent book "The Worth of Water: Our Story of Chasing Solutions to the World's Greatest Challenge", the incredible true story of two unlikely allies on a mission

Matt Damon & Gary White discuss their recent book "The Worth of Water: Our Story of Chasing Solutions to the World's Greatest Challenge", the incredible true story of two unlikely allies on a mission to end the global water crisis for good. With humor and humility, Matt & Gary illuminate the challenges of launching a brand-new model with extremely high stakes: better health and greater prosperity for people allover the world. "The Worth of Water" invites us to become a part of this effortâ€”to match hope with resources, to empower families and communities, and to end the global water crisis for good. All the authorsâ€™ proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Water.org. On any given morning, you might wake up and shower with water, make your coffee with water, flush your toilet with waterâ€”and think nothing of it. But around the world, more than three-quarters of a billion people canâ€™t do any of thatâ€”because they have no clean water source near their homes. And 1.7 billion donâ€™t have access to a toilet. This crisis affects a third of the people on the planet. It keeps kids out of school and women out of work. It traps people in extreme poverty and it spreads disease. Itâ€™s also solvable. That conviction is what brought together movie actor Matt Damon and water expert and engineer Gary White. Over time, they and their organization, Water.org, have found an approach that works. Working with partners across East Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, theyâ€™ve helped over 40 million people access water and/or sanitation. About the Panelists Matt Damon is the cofounder of Water.org and WaterEquity, as well as an actor, a producer, and a screenwriter. In 2006 he founded H20 Africa Foundation to raise awareness about water initiatives on the continent. Mattâ€™s active participation in the work of Water.org and WaterEquity has positioned him as one of the worldâ€™s experts on water and sanitation issues. Gary White is the cofounder and CEO of Water.org and WaterEquity. In 1991 he launched Water Partners, now the international NGO known as Water.org. Today he leads two organizations in creating and executing market-driven solutions to the global water crisis, driving innovations in the way water and sanitation projects are delivered and financed.

Lichens: What They Are and Where They Grow

Sï»¿top me if you've heard this one: Alice Algae and Freddy Fungi took a LICHEN to each other. Lichens are unique organisms. Traditional definitions describe them as a close relationship of fungi

Sï»¿top me if you've heard this one: Alice Algae and Freddy Fungi took a LICHEN to each other. Lichens are unique organisms. Traditional definitions describe them as a close relationship of fungi (the mycobiont) living together with algae (the photobiont). The fungi protects the algae, and the algae uses photosynthesis to make food. Recent research, however, highlights that this symbiosis is far more complex than we thought. It turns out that there may be even more organisms involved, forming a micro-ecosystem in every lichen. Even though lichens are biologically fascinating and ecologically important, they are regularly overlooked. People often associate lichens with lush fairy-tale forests of the Pacific Northwest, where these organisms are large, conspicuous and abundant. But even in hostile desert habitats of the Southwest, lichens are an extremely diverse and very common element of the landscape. In fact, the Greater Sonoran Desert Region supports more than a third of all lichen species found on the North American continent. Iï»¿n this Speaker Series talk by lichen expert Dr. Frank Bungartz, learn all about what lichens are, what they look like and where they can be found, as well as the fundamental role they play in ecosystems. Dr. Bungartz will share his research on lichen diversity and function in the Sonoran regions, Galapagos, and Ecuador. Dr. Frank Bungartz is the Collections Manager of Lichens and Digital Data at the Lichen Herbarium of the Arizona State University Natural History Collections. His research focuses on biodiversity, evolution, ecology and conservation of lichenized fungi in the Sonoran Desert Region, Central America, and the Galapagos. He has been a contributor and editor to the Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region and has published numerous treatments of lichens from the Galapagos, where he continues to work on a comprehensive inventory of the lichen biota of this archipelago. Dr. Bungartz always had a strong interest in how lichens affect rock surfaces that they grow on. With his graduate student Guillermo Ortiz, he has recently been using photogrammetry to create 3D models of lichen communities from high-resolution macro photos to better understand the dynamics of biodeterioration and biomineralization caused by these organisms.

Two American Families: 1991-2024 by Frontline

A chronicle of the lives and economic struggles of two families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin â€” one Black and one white â€” across more than three decades, this

A chronicle of the lives and economic struggles of two families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin â€” one Black and one white â€” across more than three decades, this â€œknockout documentaryâ€ (The New York Times) raises unsettling questions about the changing nature of the American economy. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donateÃ¢â‚¬â€¹/ â€œTwo American Families: 1991-2024â€ documents the saga of two families, the Stanleys and the Neumanns, who have spent the past 34 years battling to keep from sliding into poverty, and who refuse to give up despite upheaval in the U.S. economy. When the team first began documenting the familiesâ€™ lives in 1991, the Neumanns and Stanleys were both struggling to adapt to a new, global economy and the trend towards part-time, lower-wage work. With profound intimacy, the documentary follows the stories of the Stanleys and the Neumanns across six presidential administrations and offers a powerful window into how they and their now-grown children have fared while trying to stay afloat in an economy that has presented challenge after challenge for them. â€œThere are so many people struggling the same way with the cost of everything and not getting enough on your paycheck to cover your monthly expenses,â€ said Terry Neumann, who was a mom of young kids when the documentaryâ€™s producers began filming with her and is now in her early 60s. â€œItâ€™s like we havenâ€™t come very far.â€ â€œI wonâ€™t give up,â€ said Jackie Stanley, who is working as a real estate agent while entering her 70s. â€œTwo American Families: 1991-2024â€ is a FRONTLINE production with Okapi Productions LLC and Public Affairs Television, Inc. in association with Left/Right Docs. The producers and directors are Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes. The co-producer is Andrew Fredericks. The senior producers are Frank Koughan and Nina Chaudry. The writer is Kathleen Hughes. The correspondent is Bill Moyers. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.
