Two important Center For Justice items

First, the good news.

On October 13 ^th , join our Spokane Riverkeeper Rick Eichstaedt for Greendrinks at Catacombs Restaurant, 110 S. Monroe Street from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to speak with Rick, who cares passionately and is extremely knowledgeable about our river, arguably the city’s finest and most essential resource.

Second, we need to “Shun the scum.”

The Center For Justice reports Lake Spokane has been issued a state advisory for its “extremely high” levels of toxins measured from algae blooms. “In the short term,” said Department of Ecology eastern Washington water manager Jim Bellatty, “people and animals need to avoid the scum. Over the long term, Ecology has developed a water-quality improvement plan for the Spokane River and Lake Spokane that is designed to reduce algae by removing the amount of phosphorous in the water.”  Ewww.
