From Patrick Piuma at the Sustainable City Series:
I want to let you know that the fifth forum of the Sustainable City Series, WATER, will be held on Tuesday, August 12th beginning at 6:00 pm at Glassworks (815 W Market Street).
It is not news that we need clean water to survive, but most people take access to clean water for granted. Our global water systems are under great stress. Shifting weather patterns, population growth, poor environmental regulations, pharmaceuticals, aging infrastructure, and waste among other factors have led to increases in contamination and reductions in our supply of fresh water. Louisville's own combined sewer system is in trouble due to overflow issues leading to unacceptable levels of wastewater discharge. Please join us on August 12th for an engaging discussion on water and learn what you can do to help make our city, region, and the world more sustainable.
Guest speakers:
Bud Schardein, Executive Director - Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD)
Judy Petersen, Executive Director - Kentucky Waterways Alliance
Gill Holland, Producer - The Group Entertainment
Ramsi's Café on the World will be providing food for the event and coffee will be provided by Heine Brothers Coffee.
