ReplyDeleteWe have a say you know
Your attitude is the problem, Fred. Do you see the title: "Beginning Index..."
ReplyDeleteDid you read the post? Do you understand it?
I have communicated often with Canadians about the Great Lakes Compact and Murphy Oil.
Perhaps you like to point readers and me towards some good resources instead leaving me that kind of ridiculous comment.
How about MMSD. They have been doing great things for the lake for years and their website is full of productive ideas on how we can all help out by doing even more.
ReplyDeleteI work for Peter Annin, who wrote the book "The Great Lakes Water Wars," and we have a site dedicated to collecting all the latest news about Great Lakes water issues in one place. We've got all sorts of info, from both Canadian and U.S. news sources. If you think we'd be a worthy addition, our link is
ReplyDeletewww.greatlakeswaterwars.com
A good Canadian site for beginners is http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/greatlakes/
And, finally, a cool interactive site about all the world's water hot spots can be found at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/world/03/world_forum/water/html/default.stm
The very informative UWM Great Lakes WATER Institute website would be an excellent addition to the list.
ReplyDeleteThank you for starting such a compilation. There are so many scattered resources that it can be nigh impossible to know where to start.
