Populist Dialogues - 14-09 - City Water Trust sole purpose: benefit residents only

Human right to water! Eco-system right to water!

Just the beginning for Jonah Majure, chief petitioner for an initiative campaign in Portland Oregon to create a unique water trust to govern and prevent the privatization of the city's water and water resources. As Jonah explains, the sole purpose of the trust would be creation of benefit for the beneficiaries, the cities residents. The trust would establish operating goals for the trust, including the use of the precautionary principle, transparency, no conflicts of interest and protection for whistle blowers. And the residents would not be dependent on someone else to enforce the trust; rather the residents would have the power themselves. (www.peopleswatertrust.org)
