FLOURISH!
 
Insights from REV   
Trying to save water? Turn off your lights.

That may sound odd to most of you but the key to addressing California's drought isn't just in shutting off the tap. Finding a long-term solution demands a holistic systems approach to conservation.

This issue of Flourish! looks behinds the scenes to reveal some of the complexities of the energy-water-waste interconnection. We face a difficult challenge in managing climate change, but it's by no means insurmountable. If we embrace a mindset shift that sees the whole of sustainability as a huge benefit, rather than a sacrifice, the ideas and innovations that follow will ensure a resilient and flourishing future.

Sincerely,


Elliott Hoffman, CEO REV

“Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight.
