SUMMARY:Low Salt\, No Salt Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The leading source of chloride pollution is from deicing chemicals (salts) used for winter maintenance. Chloride damages property and the environment\, harms aquatic species\, and impacts drinking water quality. About 50 waterbodies in Minnesota already have dangerous chloride levels\, and another 75 waterbodies are close to the danger zone. \nTo help address this issue\, the Hennepin County Chloride Initiative created Low Salt\, No Salt Minnesota\, an innovative new program that builds community capacity to maintain winter safety while reducing chloride-based deicer use and its associated damages through relationships with local properties managed by resident boards. \nLow Salt\, No Salt Minnesota is a research-based program created and tested by professionals from cities and watershed organizations in Hennepin County for implementation by local government units in their communities to build on relationships and ongoing opportunities to provide continued program support. Come learn about this mega-resource where you will find customizable tools for your local salty situation. \nRegister for this free Zoom webinar at: minnesotawaterstewards.org/low-salt-no-salt/

SUMMARY:"Purified" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Hamline’s Center for Global Environmental Education is hosting a free event for the launch of Peter Annin’s new book\, Purified: How Recycled Sewage is Transforming Our Water. Peter is the Director of the Burke Center for Freshwater Innovation at Northland College and the author of Great Lakes Water Wars. \nIn his new book\, Peter explores how recycled water has been consumed in California\, Florida\, Texas and Virginia – in some cases for years – as surface and groundwater sources for drinking water are limited. In some areas of the country\, primarily because of climate change\, there are only two realistic sources for new water supplies – the ocean and the toilet. Surprisingly\, the toilet is the more sustainable option. Recycled water is so heavily treated it is often cleaner than existing water supplies.
