Healing Our Waters - Great Lakes Days in Washington DC

Posted by Lisa Wozniak:  I just attended the Great Lakes Commission's breakfast in DC where the new EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson addressed the crowd. What an impressive woman! Smart, passionate & very dedicated (& with a record to prove it!) to toxic clean up issues.

Administrator Jackson gives me great hope for the future protection of theGreat Lakes, our many "areas of concern " (AOCs), & the Dow contamination of Michigan's largest watershed, in particular.
