Politics, News & Issues > Environment (Other) Environmentalists: Do they do more good or more harm?

It's before sunrise and icy cold at the small race track where we will start our outride. The ATVs are roaring up a storm as petrol levels are checked and last-minute adjustments are made.

This important question is really three fundamental questions.Firstly, CAN individuals make a significant difference to the world water crisis?
