Make your Lake Superior Day plans now: July 20, 2008 celebrate the world's largest, cleanest freshwater lake - annual event sponsored by Lake Superior Binational Forum, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada

Celebrate Lake Superior Day on Sunday, July 20, 2008

Whats better than a July picnic on a hot, sandy beach next to the worlds largest freshwater lake?

A picnic and a Lake Superior celebration!

Individuals and families, churches and kids, communities and clubs, and businesses and industries hold activities or events that celebrate Lake Superior Day, held annually on the third Sunday in July (July 20 this year).

Can you do something that symbolizes your own connection to the lake on that day?

Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s to highlight the importance of this great water body to the basins environment and economy.

The Lake Superior Binational Forum promotes this basin-wide event to highlight the special connections people have to this unique world treasure.

Many events have been held to educate or entertain people about lake issues, special places, and recreational opportunities.

You are invited to hold activities or events that celebrate this world-class lake.

This year the theme is Lets Go Fly a Kite! to symbolize clean energy sources such as wind power.

Organize your group or family to fly a kite at your favorite beach or park on July 20!

Click on this link for more information about flying a kite on Lake Superior Day.

Families fly kites made from homemade materials off the deck of the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth.

Last year almost 45 groups and communities participated in some way, including special events such as dragon boat races, beach clean ups, musical concerts, library displays, church services, and signed proclamations that designate the third Sunday in July as Lake Superior Day.

Contact the Lake Superior Binational Forum to receive free color postcards and buttons to give to your Lake Superior supporters at your event.

The Forum's website offers ideas about how the day was celebrated last year and what you can do to celebrate Lake Superior. Click on Current Projects. New information is posted regularly.

Lake Superior's surface covers 31,700 square miles, or about the size of South Carolina.

The lake is so big it could hold all the water from the other four Great Lakes, plus three more lakes the size of Lake Erie.

In 1985, scientists using a submersible vessel descended for the first time to the deepest part, which is near the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigans Upper Peninsula.

Lake Superior s deepest point is 1,332 feet, which would almost cover the Sears Tower in Chicago, one of the worlds tallest buildings.

The lake stretches approximately 350 miles from west to east, and 160 miles north to south. If you could travel along the entire Lake Superior shoreline, you would travel 1,826 miles, or the distance from Duluth to San Francisco.

The Lake Superior Binational Forum is a multi-sector stakeholder group of U.S. and Canadian volunteers that work together to provide input to governments about lake issues and educate basin residents about ways to protect and restore the lake.

Members come from Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

The Forum is located in the United States at Northland College in Ashland, WI, and funded in the U.S. by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Great Lakes National Program Office.

The Canadian Forum office is at EcoSuperior in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and funded by Environment Canada.

Top Ten Ways You Can Protect Lake Superior Every Day

Wisconsin DNR Map

1. Install water saving devices on your kitchen and bathroom faucets and showerheads. Purchase these at local hardware and building supply stores--most cost between one dollar and nine dollars.

2. Replace regular light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs. Burning an energy bulb requires less energy, which means power plants burn less coal and that produces less mercury in the air.

3. Never burn garbage, especially plastics or tires, in burn barrels on your property. These produce more toxins in the air than an industrial incinerator. Not only do you breathe these toxic fumes as the garbage burns, but the pollutants enter the lake when it rains.

4. Instead of burning garbage, recycle or compost what you can and throw away the rest.

5. Take your lawn and household hazardous materials to area Cleansweeps collection days in Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, and Iron counties this summer. Call the Northwest Regional Planning Commission at 715-635-2197 for dates and locations of collections in your county.

6. Put your lawn on a chemical-free diet. Poisonous lawn herbicides and pesticides seep into waterways that end up in the lake and soil, which can hurt your family and neighbors. Lawn chemicals can also sicken or kill birds and pets. Bring these kinds of chemicals to a Cleansweep event where they are disposed of safely.

7. Never pour any liquids into a storm drain. Storm drains empty untreated liquids into a nearby river, stream, or Lake Superior.

8. When youre boating or fishing, inspect your boat and trailer and remove any plants and animals before leaving the water body. Drain water from the motor, live well, bilge, and transom before leaving the water body. Never release live bait fish in the water or live earthworms on the land or water.

9. When planning landscaping or gardening activities, use plants that are native to the region. Consult with garden centers or the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute for a list of the best native plants for this area. Learn what non-native species look like and additional prevention tips by contacting your local state or federal natural resource management agency and ask for information and identification material for non-native species.

10. Love it! When you care about something as grand as Lake Superior, youll feel good about making sure it stays a Great Lake.

Expertos de 20 países hablan sobre cambio climático y biodiversidad

ecohuellas — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 01:35:26 +0000

Hoy en la ciudad de Panamá inició el congreso sobre cambio climático y biodiversidad en las américas, que reúne a expertos de más de 20 países, y que tendrán la oportunidad de debatir hasta el día viernes sobre el estado actual del cambio climático y su impacto en la biodiversidad boscosa en las Américas, opciones de adaptación y sostenibilidad, interacciones y sinergias entre el cambio climático global y la biodiversidad forestal, entre otros temas.

El congreso es organizado por el Centro para la Educación sobre la Conservación y Sostenibilidad del Instituto Smithsonian de Investigaciones Tropicales (STRI, por sus siglas en inglés) y la División de Investigaciones sobre Adaptación e Impacto de la entidad gubernamental 'Environment Canada'.

Otro de los objetivos de este encuentro es analizar la creación de una red en las américas sobre el cambio climático y colaboraciones para la investigación; por otra parte, científicos hablaran sobre las investigaciones que se realizan de manera individual que contribuyan a las instancias políticas que toman las decisiones para medir el impacto del cambio climático sobre la biodiversidad.

Según estudios científicos, el cambio climático inducido por el hombre puede ocasionar la pérdida de la biodiversidad a escala global y causar alteraciones dramáticas en la distribución de las especies, así como su extinción, especialmente en ecosistemas fragmentados y vulnerables.

El mayor riesgo pesa sobre los arrecifes coralinos y ecosistemas boscosos, lo que preocupa a organismos internacionales por el efecto que puede tener sobre la calidad de vida de los seres humanos.

Weather News II

mediamelon — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:37:48 +0000

In a January 31st post, I registered my skepticism about media such as Saskatchewan television stations who state theirs is the 'most accurate weather.' Furthermore, I wondered what Environment Canada thought of these claims, so I asked folks at the Federal agency which makes its weather data and information available to all Canadians and Canadian media outlets.

Media Relations officer Julie Hahn says, "we are familiar with the claims but we have not seen any data to substantiate them. Hahn adds that "Canadians should be aware that only EC has the authority to issue weather warnings."

Environment Canada's major source for producing weather forecasts are the computer models that are run on its supercomputer. According to Hahn, the data used in the supercomputer is collected from two types of satellites - polar orbiting and geosynchronous satellites, Doppler radars, Surface and Upper Air stations, Climate Observing Stations, Weather Buoys, ships, aircraft and other advanced technologies as well as a network of voluntary weather observers on the ground.

Most mainstream media websites offer local and national weather information, much of it linked to EC. The Environment Canada site provides a wealth of information including radar imagery from its Saskatchewan stations at Radisson and Bethune.
