Obama Pledges Clean Drinking Water and Climate Aid for Alaskan Villages


Barack Obama closed out his visit to Alaska on Wednesday, promising to provide remote native villages both 20th-century standards of flush toilets and sanitation and much-needed protection against the 21st-century consequences of climate change. Ahead of a last stop in Kotzebue, a community of 3,000 north of the Arctic circle, the White House pledged $17.6m to help bring flush toilets and safe drinking water to 17 remote communities. Obama also promised $2m, through the state’s Denali Commission, to help those remote coastal communities which have chosen to relocate because of climate change. More than two dozen native Alaskan villages which are losing the land out from under them to coastal erosion and sea-level rise, are actively considering moving because of climate change. http://bit.ly/1LVlgB7 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
