If you are unaware of Debra Shore, she is an environmental dynamo. I first knew of her when I was needing information from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Chicago, many years ago
She was elected to that board for three 6-year terms. Then she was called upon to head the Environmental Protection Agency, District 5, which includes the six states of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio and Minnesota, totally encircling Lake Michigan. And, of course, she was fired from the EPA recently by this administration.
Her talk will focus on “What do we know and what should we be doing,” to protect this most precious environmental asset. Lake Michigan, its water supply and water quality, are essential elements needing protection due to growing environmental attacks and the continued loss of water sources here and throughout the world.
Debra Shore’s talk will take place at the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association on Monday, Dec. 15 at 1 p.m., 178 Forest Ave. Oak Park. Visit the website NineteenCentury.org and then click Monday enrichment program.
