Alexandra Cousteau and the Blue Legacy Expedition Team have set out on a custom biodiesel tour bus to film significant global water issues found across the US, Mexico and Canada and conduct community “watershed action” days along the way. The tour will cover 14,500 miles in an “interactive” expedition designed to challenge audiences to connect with local watersheds and discover the interconnectivity of global water issues.

Alexandra Cousteau continues the work of her grandfather, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and father Philippe Cousteau, Sr. through her Washington, DC-based non-profit Blue Legacy International. She is dedicated to advocating the importance of conservation and sustainable management of water resources in order to preserve a healthy planet.

Cousteau announced the expedition as a tribute to her grandfather’s 100th birthday. “As a child, my grandfather would always tell me, ‘you have to go and see’ when I’d ask him thousands of questions about the places he and my father had filmed. When it comes to water issues especially, I think we have to help people really experience the stories and places we stand to lose. This expedition is about challenging people from all walks of life to explore these issues with us on a daily basis and connect with opportunities in their own community to make a very real and lasting difference in the watershed in which they live.”

Admission is $20. Continental breakfast included. Please register online at sustainabilitynetwork.ca<http://sustainabilitynetwork.cmail4.com/t/y/l/cjdlrk/buhtujio/r>
