Logistics: 7 – 8:30pm, Meydenbauer Convention Center, 11100 NE 6th, Bellevue, WA
Description: In the Northwest, our health and economy depends on clean air & water, and the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. This workshop will help you understand how America’s resources are being compromised, and why conservation needs to be your priority. Out of touch with mainstream American values, the Bush Administration and Congress are putting special interests ahead of the people by weakening laws that protect our health and natural heritage. This workshop will help you understand how the Bush Administration policies affect you. Our kids deserve better – responsible policies focused on long-term public health, economic vitality and security, and public places for recreation and enjoyment. It's your America to protect and preserve for future generations. Come learn about how you can make a difference!
Speakers include Gregg Small, Executive Director, Washington Toxics Coalition; Jim DiPeso, Policy Director, Republicans for Environmental Protection; and Patti Goldman, Managing Attorney, Earthjustice. Hosted by Scott Miller, Director, Resource Media

One out of nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime - a risk that was one out of 14 in 1960. Commonly accepted risk factors, such as age, only partially explain breast cancer risk. Recent studies suggest that exposures to certain environmental chemicals are linked to breast cancer. What are these chemicals? Can we avoid them? What should health care providers recommend to patients? Internationally renowned epidemiologist, toxicologist and author, Devra Davis, Ph.D., M.P.H, will identify the known and suspected environmental risk factors for breast cancer.

Description: Join hydrologist Phil Noppe for an introduction to the basic concepts of hydrology. Both those who work in a technical field and those who just have an interest in how we manage surface water will benefit from this orientation. Learn where water goes and how it circulates, the chemical and physical properties of water, and the reaction of water to the environment, including the human one. This day-long course will consist of a half-day classroom seminar followed by a half-day field trip. Learn what is meant by the hydrologic cycle and the "100-year flood." Become acquainted with stream gauging equipment and common computer models, and learn about the laws and regulations that deal with water resources, especially in Western Washington during the land development process. We will visit a local stream gauging station and observe first-hand how stream and river flows are measured. We will also visit a recent development site to view the elements of a typical stormwater control system constructed to meet Western Washington stormwater requirements.
