How green
is your beer? Come to this workshop and compare the eco-footprints of
larger beer companies, microbreweries and home-brewing. Expert brewers
will also demonstrate how to brew your own beer.
EcoTuesday is a forum to network, collaborate, and engage with socially
responsible business leaders. The evening's structure includes an
interactive dialogue and features a visionary speaker from the
sustainable business world. Additionally, everyone in the room has the
opportunity to introduce themselves - which means that everyone else
has the opportunity to learn more about what they're interested in.
EcoTuesday attracts a diverse group of sustainable business leaders
involved in a wide variety of interests and fields.

AUGUST'08
2008 Twin Cities Lead Tackle Exchange Event: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is sponsoring summertime lead fishing tackle exchanges. The exchanges provide anglers a chance to try out non-toxic jigs and weights made by Minnesota companies.
Residents can bring in their old lead tackle and swap it out for jigs or weights made of bismuth, tin, tungsten or steel. This will help prevent lead poisoning of loons, eagles, and other wildlife.
There are several exchange events held throughout the Twin Cities metro area. See the list below.
For more information on non-lead alternatives for fishing tackle or
for information about lead tackle exchange events located outside of
the metro area, visit the PCA website, link below. www.pca.state.mn.us/sinkers
