League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria Event: Sustainability Why Should We Care About Water?
Sustainability: Why Should We Care About Water? will be the focus of the discussion at the November 18th Drinks & Dialogue program hosted by the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria. The meeting will be held from 5:30p-6:30p at the Hearth Restaurant, 4604 N. Prospect Avenue, Peoria Heights.
The importance of water is a global issue, and now the significance of water shortages hits close to home in the United States as droughts and water shortages impact many areas of the country. The League has long been engaged in activities to protect groundwater sources to ensure the safety of drinking water.
The dialogue about Sustainability: Why Should We Care About Water? will be facilitated by League members and led by Robert Fuessle of Bradley University. Dr. Fuessle earned his Masters and PhD degrees in environmental engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana. He is a specialist in the area of hazardous waste treatment and management modeling for environmental systems, stabilizing hazardous wastes, environmental management and policy analysis and environmental risk assessment.
Drinks& Dialogue provides an opportunity for people to share opinions and ideas, ask questions and become more aware of local, state and national issues and the options for making change. There’s no cost to participate, and refreshments are available to buy
