WomenMatter Facts & Trade-Offs provides all women with the tools and information to change American politics and culture. By stepping back in time and space we can understand the facts behind the issues that we see debated over-and-over, and then come together to figure out lasting solutions based on what works in our own lives.

This show, ‘Water: What’s the Question?’ asks how it is possible that more than a billion people in our increasingly interconnected world have no access to clean water, the most basic of human needs, and even in our own country, pollution is a continuing issue. Dr. Bauer gets an expert perspective on the worldwide debate over both water quality standards and public or private control from internationally recognized Dr. Peter H. Gleick. Dr. Gleick is President of the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security in Oakland, California and was named a MacArthur Fellow in October, 2003.

Once we understand the interconnected facts of economic development, environment, and security, we can use our collective power to demand the standards for water that we want for ourselves and our tax dollars used around the world by weighing in with local, state, and national government.
