Environmental advocate Kennedy at Goucher

A new day, another environmental speaker. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., author, outspoken advocate and co-founder of the watchdog Waterkeeper Alliance, is speaking Wednesday night at Goucher College.

Kennedy, supervising attorney at Pace University law school's environmental litigation clinic and co-host of a nationally syndicated show on Air America Radio, will talk on "Our Environmental Destiny: How to Get There in Troubled Economic Times." He will speak at 8 p.m. at Kraushaar Auditorium.

A member of the famous political family, Kennedy helped start the waterkeeper alliance in 1999, and it now has nearly 200 participating groups, including several in Maryland. He is the author of four books and numerous articles on the environment and politics. His talk is free and open to the public, but tickets must reserved in advance by calling Goucher College at 410-337-6333 or by e-mailing boxoffice@goucher.edu

About the bloggers

Meredith Cohn has been a reporter for more than 18 years and has covered a variety of subjects, from airlines and agriculture to politics and health and fitness. She's gained an appreciation for the environment as a biker, runner and dog walker. She also hopes this blog means coworkers will stop staring when she carries home recyclables from the office.

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.
