"Fate of a River"
In 1965, the Junior League of Toledo produced this film depicting foaming detergents, raw sewage, industrial discharges, gasping fish and algae-laden streams in the Maumee River Watershed. This film helped citizens throughout Northwest Ohio recognize that their actions were negatively affecting local waterways and proposed actions they could take to clean up the environment.
"Fate of a River, Revisited"
This story updates the current environmental state of the Maumee River with discussion on the today's health of this important Great Lakes watershed. This program was born from a respect for, and a desire to update the decades-old original film 'Fate of a River' that spurred public interest in saving our Northwest Ohio water resources.
"Green Sells"
The intent of this video is to stress the use of project management, Phased Construction Delivery (aka, "Phasing"), and erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs) to effect a stronger "bottom line." These tools should also help to realize a swifter "turn-around" time for your development.
