Clean Rivers Clean Lake

Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Inc. (Sweet Water)

What struck me first and foremost about this conference was Melanie Ariens’s art. It was on display and hanging in the window in the long entrance way of Discovery World. Expanding on her metaphor, hanging there in the window was the familiar, her blue jean baby. Recycled, maybe a little worse for wear, but still functional, indeed vital for life.

Imagine a workday that starts anywhere from noon to 2 PM and doesn’t wrap up until somewhere between 9 PM and midnight. Imagine most of that time spent standing, on your feet, twisting, bending down, hovering near open flames. No time for a break.
