From the British Blue Community ‘We Own It’:
At our event on the Future of Water, organized together with Abundance, Common Wealth and Compass, leaders from publicly owned water systems across Europe spoke to us about their experiences in the transition from private to public, and the many forms that truly democratic participation in water ownership might take.
Kinisi 136 was a movement to bring water into co-operative ownership in Thessaloniki, Greece, where each household would have its own share in the municipally-owned water company. Here, Kostas Nikolaou talks about the way in which co-operative ownership can future-proof against privatisation.
