You have stumbled upon the preview edition of The Blue Times. When formally launched, it will join the global conversation about restoration and protection of water resources for the sustenance of humans and nature, the most important conversation on the planet. Innovation and policy reform will be its emphasis, along with small excursions to interesting places. 

Did you know: Two of every ten people do not have safe water; four children die each minute from water related diseases in the developing world; and 19.5 million Americans are made ill each year from drinking water?

But water is more than a resource in trouble, it is a source of inspiration and joy, a means for work and play, a supply of food and drink. It is required and sought by our and every species.

Some of the most interesting places on Earth are our rivers, estuaries, seas, lakes, inlets, sounds, bays, marshes, ponds, streams and bogs, Water defines our planet, and others; the NASA Kepler mission is searching for habitable worlds beyond our solar system — those special planets that can sustain liquid water.  

There is much to explore and much to talk about. So, stay tuned. And while we may not be in a fully functional mode, there are already some interesting posts to read and links to follow — though we apologize about the Latin you will encounter down the page. That’s Lorem Ipsum filler text, which you can learn about HERE.

The Blue Times will soon be on the air for good. Watch for new posts, even while we are finishing this site. And if you would like to be notified of our official launch (and our full transition to English) sign-up HERE.

See you soon.
