Drawing on the work of some of the finest photojournalists in the world, Blue Planet Run: The Race to Provide Safe Drinking Water to the World focuses on the entire safe drinking water story: its origins, its implications, its heroes and its solutions.
Blue Planet Run provides readers with an extraordinary look at the water problems facing humanity and some of the hopeful solutions being pursued by large and small companies, by entrepreneurs and activists, and by non-governmental organisations and foundations.
By the end of the book, readers are left to form their own conclusions as to whether the human race is capable of taking the steps necessary to solve this global crisis before it’s too late.
Blue Planet Run is actually two books in one: the first is about an inspiring 15,000-mile relay race – the longest relay race in human history – in which 20 athletes spent 95 days running around the globe to spread awareness of the global water crisis.
The second is a showcase of powerful, inspiring, disturbing and hopeful images captured by leading photojournalists around the world who documented the human face of the crisis and its possible solutions.
This book includes insightful essays from a passionate group of writers, environmentalists and journalists.
One hundred percent of the royalties from this book will be used to provide clean drinking water to people around the world who desperately need it.
