MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 14, 2016 12:16 PM
From: Representative Joanna E. McClinton
To: All House members
Subject: Co-Sponsorship: Resolution designating March 22, 2016 as “World Water Day” in Pennsylvania.
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a Resolution designating March 22, 2016 as “World Water Day” in Pennsylvania in conjunction with the 2016 “World Water Day” international observance designated by the United Nations.

As you may know, the first World Water Day observance stemmed from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. In developing countries, 1.3 billion people are gaining access to safe drinking water through initiatives of the United Nations and other global entities. In addition, public and private entities across all continents must pursue unified water conservation work and continuing investment in infrastructure to make further progress.

With that said, the 2016 World Water Day observance is focusing on the power of water and jobs to transform lives and enact change around the world by highlighting water’s role in our daily work and our creation of visual, theatrical, and musical art.

To the end, it is for these reasons and more that I am proud to offer this Resolution. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (717) 772-9850.
