On October 28 at 7 Steve Scher (KUOW) and Vaughn Palmer (Vancouver Sun) will do a live version of their weekly radio conversation (10:05 AM every wednesday, KUOW 94.9 FM) on the stage of Schneebeck Concert Hall at Puget Sound: "Cross-Border Framing of Environmental Issues".
This is funded by a grant from the Canadian Consulate, and by various Programs and Departments at Puget Sound, but is an initiative of our faculty and staff.
Please ask your colleagues and co-workers to formulate questions about US- Canadian environmental relations, and if you have a current class, please ask your students for questions. Everyone should mail these directly to me, Mott Greene (greene@ups.edu). I will forward these on to our speakers. There will also be open mikes for live questions, just as there is always a "call-in" segment on Scher's "Seattle Weekday."
There's no set topic. I plan to ask "Why do Canadians, when they build houses on islands, awalys build brown and green houses set in amongst the trees, and why do US island dwellers generally build something big and bright, and also cut down all the trees in front of it?"
Hope you will all attend, and will ask your friends, co-workers and students to attend as well. It is free and open to the public and will be "postered" when we return from Fall break, if not before.
Any Q or suggestions (both very welcome!!)please call me at 3782 or return e-mail to this address or greene@ups.edu.
