Thank YOU, Denise, for sticking with the battle over the years! I was too consumed with writing about the Harkin symposium to mention my connection to the first Earth Day in 1970. I was at the University of Michigan, which would be on spring break on April 22, so we held ours a week early. We were FIRST!
Spotlighting issues that are essential to our existence.
Note: Auto injury data is often used to advocate for new safety measures. It seems like there's untapped opportunity for water safety and heath insurers. People too often care after it's too late.
Wow - that Conference covered a lot, and brought forth some big, bold ideas (even though some of these ideas should be mainstream, common sense). For example, a law requiring a vegetative buffer of up to 50 feet between cropland and public waters is a no-brainer, and should be at least a rule for farmers to receive federal Farm Program funding.
Thank you Larry for this excellent report. Yesterday as I recalled the preceding years of Earth Days, I was saddened and depressed about where we are now. We have been working hard over the years to set examples of how humankind can be in balance with nature. Thanks to your leadership, we have formed the Nishnabotna Water Defenders to advance awareness in our huge watershed. Chris is right about using the term guerilla in describing our organizations. A huge thank you to Jim Larew.
Who among us will write a check and mail it to the DWD? We are up against almost overwhelming odds but until there is a shift away from the majority party in place now, our very few options are litigation and holding our State senators and representatives accountable.

I've been a member since the outset. We'd welcome new members!

Bravo. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Larry! Great summary. It’s inspiring to learn about efforts to (finally!) make some progress on improving water quality here in Iowa.
Great summary, Larry! My brain and heart are full from this info packed symposium and these passionate, inspiring speakers. To the barricades!
I feel like the passion is building. Yes, we've got to keep showing up and speaking out.
