Living Green Conference Celebrates Its 10-Year Journey...and Act Now to "Protect Our Water" By Lynne Olson Are you wondering how to recycle your old computer? Or maybe you want to know about GMOs? To find out about these and other issues, mark your calendar for Saturday, March 2, 12:00 - 4:30 p.m., for the 10th Annual Living Green conference at Peace Church. Enjoy stimulating workshops, educational exhibits, organic food, and seated massage. Workshops for the younger crowd are new this year; Hartley Nature Center will do one for kids 6-12, and an orienteering workshop is available for teens. UMD Professor, John Pastor will give the keynote presentation: "Global Climate Change: Looking Into Our Future." (Information: 726-1828) And here's is an opportunity to act on behalf of our state's precious water resources. The Minnesota Environmental Partnership's (MEP) "Protect Our Water" campaign is asking the legislature to make a "down payment" for future generations so that they, too, can enjoy our rich and valuable water resources. What can you do? Write, call, or visit Senator Doug Johnson. Submit a letter or opinion piece to your newspaper. Take a free ride to the Capital on MEP Lobby Day, February 28.
