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.
