Concerned about the future of our Great Lakes?

 

Head for http://www.greatlakesnow.org/ starting today at noon for Detroit
Public Television's coverage of the year's most important Great Lakes event.

 

Today, is the beginning of "Great Lakes Week," a series of major
environmental conferences taking place here in Detroit through this Friday.


 

Keynote speakers include Vice President Al Gore and Philippe-Yves Cousteau,
among many others from the U.S. and Canada.  

 

"Great Lakes Week" encompasses significant conferences hosted by the
International Joint Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, the
U.S. Areas of Concern Program, the Great Lakes Commission, The Healing Our
WatersR - Great Lakes Coalition (representing 115 organizations) and
Environment Canada - the leading organizations that deal with Great Lakes
issues.  

 

For the first time, these events are being hosted in the same city in the
same week.  30 million people in North America live in the Great Lakes
Basin.

 

With coverage entitled "Great Lakes Now," Detroit Public Television  and
Michigan public broadcasters across the state will broadcast, webcast and
produce other content from the conferences and make it all accessible via
its television channels and Web platforms, so the public can experience the
significant discussion of the most important issues.  All content, live
and/or recorded, will also be offered, at no cost, to the public or
commercial news organization in North America, to make coverage of the
events as accessible as possible.

 

DPTV plans to broadcast and/or webcast:

 

25 hours of coverage of conference sessions, featuring speakers and panel
discussions

A daily half-hour recap of activity each day on October 12, 13 and 14

Other live and on-demand programming featuring conference participants and
topics.

 

I included a link to the Great Lakes Now website below.  Enjoy the
conference and, please forward this note to others. All the best.
