The video discusses a campaign called 'Change the Course' aimed at engaging the public in freshwater conservation, particularly in the Colorado River Basin. It highlights the efforts to restore water flow to the Colorado River, which had been heavily impacted by dams and diversions. A significant milestone was reached when water flowed to the sea for the first time in many years, symbolizing the river's potential to fulfill its natural course. The video also emphasizes the resilience of nature and the positive impact on local communities, showcasing how life can return to ecosystems with even small amounts of water restoration.
