in honor of

United Nation's World Water Day 

"Nature for Water"

Massachusetts State House

The Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. runs the Massachusetts Water Forum and Youth Summit in honor of the UN's World Water Day which happens every year on March 22nd.  This year's theme, Nature for Water, explores nature-based solutions to water challenges:  "How can we reduce floods, droughts and water pollution?  By using solutions we already find in nature."

This year we are proud to announce that our program will be sponsored by Senator Marc Pacheco with participation by the MIT Water Club, Project Green Schools, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) and others.

The Massachusetts Water Forum will be held from 11:45 am-1:45 pm at the State House. We will reach out to state and local legislators from across the Commonwealth to put water issues on their radar.
