My Voice - Our Great Lakes
This upcoming week of June 16 - 21, I will be the featured Guest Speaker at Great Lakes Town Hall.
Like the town meetings on which it is modeled, the Great Lakes Town Hall provides a "space" where residents from all across the Great Lakes basin - and all walks of life within the basin - can come together to identify common concerns, set the political agenda, share and develop collective solutions, and demand - as a public - that the Lakes are clean, abundant, and natural for generations to come. The Town Hall is a program of the Biodiversity Project.
Each week the Town Hall solicits thoughtful contributions from Great Lakes writers, scientists, business owners, politicians, agency staff, environmentalists, artists, concerned citizens and more. Guest speakers contribute content on a Great Lakes topic of their choice for five days. The guest speakers are only limited by their imaginations and are un-edited. Check in with this week's guest speaker (this week - it will be me!) and share your views as well.
I've been thinking all week about what topics I might write about. At this moment, I'm not too certain - but I figure it will come to me when I actually sit down to post my thoughts. That's usually how I write best! Please stop by this week and say hello, or add your thoughts to whatever it is I end up discussing!

How exciting you will be a guest speaker - I would love to hear this! My husband & I have so many worries about the great lakes and fear that not enough pro-active action is being taken.
