NEORSD
Kyle Dreyfuss-Wells, the Deputy Director of Watershed Programs at the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, is a featured speaker at Old Stone Church’s Hope For The City speaker series. Her talk, “Green Infrastructure: Lake Erie, Combined Sewer Overflows and Urban Spaces,” will be presented on Wed 3/11 at noon.
Dreyfuss-Wells talks with CoolCleveland’s Thomas Mulready at the new Mitchell’s Ice Cream on West 25th Street in Ohio City, where NEORSD has assisted with a green infrastructure project. Rain from the roof and paving tiles is collected in an underground basin and diverted back into the building where it is used to flush toilets and cool water that is discharged. The program is free, but registration is required here.

SPONSORED: Check your sink. Your laundry room. Out in the shed. Chances are you’ve got a bottle or two or twenty of chemicals that help keep your place clean, but they don’t do the environment any favors. There are eco-friendlier alternatives available, some you can even concoct cheaply yourself: Learn More.
SPONSORED: A common method of disposing of unwanted medication has been to flush it down the toilet or rinse it down the drain. But wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove these medicines. When the treated water is released into the River it can still contain traces of these medicines. More here.
SPONSORED: So you went and got all ambitious changing the oil in your car. Nice work. But if you've gone Mr. Goodwrench and now have four quarts of used motor oil sitting in your garage and don't know what to do with it, we can help you protect the environment. Learn more here.
----- #10742 I#2) 07.02.14-----SPONSORED: How many dogs are there in Cuyahoga County? More than 90,000. How many of their owners pick up after them? We don’t have stats on that, but chances are the number isn’t as high as it should be. Sure, leaving pet waste behind is impolite; it’s also pollution. Find out more here.
----- #10742 I#1) 06.18.14-----SPONSORED: Used motor oil Unused fertilizer. Burned-out fluorescent bulbs. We've all got them, and many of us shove them out of sight in the garage. They can't just be thrown away, can they? The answer is no, which is why there are simple ways to dispose of or recycle them properly. Find out here.\\\\
