Couch Potato Politics

Thank you everyone for listening to Couch Potato Politics! Hope you all enjoyed learning about the water crisis in California. This is the first episode of a multi-part series on the politics of the elements. Each element will have an episode where I speak about the issues and then about three weeks later there will be a conversation with someone who is an expert in their respective field. For this episode's action steps and donations please check out a whole entire list of organizations that are recommended by the online water encyclopedia. Personally I recommend Clean Water Action,  Friends of the River, and especially Run 4 Salmon but all of the organizations are reputable and are working to make change.
