The People’s Water Board is a coalition of labor, social justice, and environmental organizations based in Detroit. They work together to confront: 1) devastating lack of access to water faced by tens of thousands of low-income people who have had their water shut off; 2) water pollution due to aging wastewater infrastructure; and 3) the effort of corporate interests to gain control of Detroit’s water system. Listen to this panel discussion to learn about their struggles and victories.
This panel will address whether threats from climate change, mercury emissions and other effects of fossil fuel dependence justify development of offshore wind in select areas of the Great Lakes. What state and federal regulatory schemes currently exist and are they adequate to protect the lakes? How are regulators, developers and environmental groups addressing wind development and environmental protection?
The U.S. EPA’s stormwater rulemaking process that is currently underway is a great opportunity for you to speak up for policies that will ensure cleaner water in the Great Lakes. Our workshop presenters will highlight the most important elements of the proposed rule. They will also describe how the policies they recommend will make a difference and why it’s critical for you to get involved and help actively promote the rule’s final adoption.
