It is a disgrace to our city when it could be the prize that flows through it.coolkayakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329844246241134786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918514418757933899.post-70708044780098954012010-08-04T22:39:33.929-05:002010-08-04T22:39:33.929-05:00Today we are challenged with finding ways to balan...Today we are challenged with finding ways to balance our use of land and water with our desire to protect and water clarity in the Milwaukee was excellent all year and thank you for shearing this.<br /><br />--------<br /><a href="http://www.milwaukeesearchengineoptimization.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Milwaukee SEO Company</strong></a>Judsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888484031740544736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918514418757933899.post-13510040680168618512009-06-07T00:13:10.681-05:002009-06-07T00:13:10.681-05:00Out of one side of our mouths, we tout our "l...Out of one side of our mouths, we tout our "leadership"...<b>The Milwaukee 7 Water Council pursues its mission to make the Milwaukee Region the world water hub for freshwater research, economic development and education.</b>. <br />While at the same time we continue to dump MILLIONS of gallons of "mixed sewage" into our rivers and lake, without consequence.<br /><br />It's obvious that NOT dumping poo in our waters, NOT stagnating water in useless impoundments, and NOT leaving PCBs and toxins in the riverbed will help the health of our rivers and lake, but alas we continue to do all these things and more. <br /><br />Miraculously, the Milwaukee River is alive in places and is fighting it's way back after close to 100 years of dumping and damning and mistreatment. I guess we're just two of the lucky few who have witnessed and understand WHY a free flowing river is a healthy river. <br /><br />But in the end Milwaukee will spend millions marketing itself as an oasis of water research and development, while at the same time dumping feces in our rivers, and fighting to keep a useless dam that is a detriment to the health of the river.<br /><br />That is the dichotomy of Milwaukee.PermaSkunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953815132836018749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918514418757933899.post-67373325058926730332009-06-05T19:47:19.103-05:002009-06-05T19:47:19.103-05:00Wow, Erik, you are suddenly posting a lot and that...Wow, Erik, you are suddenly posting a lot and that is great!
