How a group of students led Brescia to ban plastic water bottle sales and become a Blue Community

It was a simple conversation that sparked a student community to dig deeper and do more for the environment. Clara Prentice, a second year student at Brescia University College, recalls her extensive discussion with Canadian Environmentalist and school chancellor Maude Barlow last year. Through stories about Barlow's experience as the United Nation's first senior adviser on water issues, Prentice was convinced she and her fellow classmates could do more for the environment, because while they are generations apart, the group of women share the same desire to at least leave this earth as they found it, if better isn't possible.
