Surfers, skaters challenge kids to be part of California’s water solution

From the O.C. Register:

Famed surfer Rob Machado and skater Danny Way are out to convince a half-million Orange County schoolchildren that it’s cool to care about California’s water crisis. The two athletes are part of a team of educators, corporate sponsors and figures from the action sports industry who, this fall, are inviting students to “Imagine Life Without Water.”

That’s the theme of a Water Innovation Now contest challenging students to think about solutions and present them in one of three ways – a one-minute PowerPoint presentation, a 30-second public service announcement or a photo of a project with a one-page narrative about it.

Winners of the contest will see their work presented in December at an international conference on water scarcity, global changes and groundwater management, co-hosted by UC Irvine and UNESCO.
