Riggs Eckelberry: The Invisible Crisis - America's Failing Water System (Ep. 236)

Unless you work in the industry or live out of the country, you probably give little thought to how water ends up in your home. The current infrastructure that our water system is built on is crumbling which is a very scary proposition. My guest today is here to share the facts and his work in this industry and what we can do going into the future. Riggs Eckelberry, a disruptive tech marketer and executive, became involved in the early "green" space when he co-founded the company that eventually became OriginClear, taking it public in 2008. Beginning in 2014, he and his team developed a series of transformative businesses which OriginClear manages in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™. In this episode, we discuss how Riggs got into water, the plastics and forever chemical crisis, government interference, the prospect of blockchain technology, and more!   Time Stamps:   (0:50) Our Aging Water System (2:07) Why Water?
