Millennium Fellowship Project: Right to Know H20
As United Nations Millennium Fellows, we pledge to advance the UN mission guaranteeing the human right to clean water. In furtherance of that mission, people worldwide must also be guaranteed the right-to-know their water is clean. This will require substantial innovations in technology, science and policy. We therefore commit ourselves to a three-step action plan: petition the U.N. to add right-to-know water quality to Sustainability Development Goal 6; propose an amendment to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act spurring the technological innovations that will guarantee the public’s right-to-know water quality; and develop a campus information system that will deliver timely information to the Pace community about their drinking water quality.
About the Millennium Fellow
Cecelia Porter is a sophomore studying communications at the Pace University Pleasantville campus. Cecelia is passionate about making change in the world and this fellowship has given her the opportunity to do so. Since her first semester at Pace, Cecelia has been in the Blue CoLab program which explores real time water monitoring and clean water access for all. Through this project she hopes to make water monitoring data more readily available with her campus being an example, then moving on to the city, state, country, and hopefully the whole world.
