Hello John,
350 Milwaukee's "2nd Tuesday" meetings are an open forum - everyone is invited and anyone can drop in. Please forward this invitation to your climate/environment mailing list and your friends.
Our guest speaker next week, Tim Folger, is a science and nature writer, a contributing editor at Discover and On Earth magazines, and studied physics after returning to college. About two years ago he was contacted by National Geographic to write about the Great Lakes. Join us to learn about his exploration of the lake system and the festinating stories he found.

Our guest, author
Tim Folger
will speak on
Saving the Great Lakes and
the Implications of Climate Change
Followed by Q&A
Tim Folger's feature article for the December 2020 National Geographic focuses on the Great Lakes and Tim's assignment was to write about the Great Lakes. The 50th anniversary of the 1969 Cuyahoga River fire ([link removed]) (when an oil slick floating on the river burned) was approaching and the magazine wanted to look at the changes during the intervening time.
"The feature story of the magazine’s December 2020 issue ([link removed]) puts a spotlight on the Great Lakes. It’s a comprehensive piece that delves into the issues plaguing the lakes and the impact those are having on the people whose lives are deeply entwined with those lakes. That includes scientists who base their life’s work around studying these waters, traditional Anishinaabe trappers, and officials in cities along the shorelines.
The story serves a dual purpose. On one hand, it looks back on key events in the Great Lakes watershed that influenced environmental awareness around the nation like the Cuyahoga River fire. At the same time, it explores issues that people around the world can see reflected in their own environments and communities."
