(As always) We are at a critical time for human health/ecosystem health - this Willamette River represents us, and lives within us!

Having lived, and raised family in the Willamette Valley since 1975 I love and appreciate this Watershed. It is time for us to know and declare a public commitment to restoring this River to its natural clarity and

health - free of pollution, the necessary lifeblood for all living beings (life).

Thank you Emily and OPB for airing this vital conversation.
