The health of Puget Sound

The health of Puget Sound has been a primary focus of the Seattle 4 Rotary Environment Committee for some time.

• Our members have collaborated with People for Puget Sound in work parties to re-establish wildlife habitat at Herring's House Park (on the Duwamish) in order to support the ecological balance and feed clean water to the Sound.
  
• We've supported the great educational efforts of Salish Sea Expeditions as they give Seattle schoolchildren opportunities for hands-on learning - in sailboats! - about the science and preservation of the Sound.
  
• We've contributed to the production of Seattle Aquarium's environmental conservation deck, a take-home guide for visitors to Window on Washington Waters.
  

On May 6, 2009, the Committee is sponsoring the featured speaker on the club program: David Dicks, Executive Director of the Puget Sound Partnership, will talk about the PSP's Action Agenda.

And more to come...

This is just the start

Good evening to all Seattle 4 Rotarians interested in the environment. I've created this site to share information and views about what the Environment Committee is doing, what resources are available to our members and others, and ideas about individual and collective impact on the environment. We have traditionally focused on the health of Puget Sound, and more recently we're attempting to inform and encourage individuals to take action to help reduce our carbon production in the Puget Sound region.

More to come. I'm just getting started.
