From the Inquirer:

A week after trouble on the Wissahickon, Merck said it was responsible. State, U.S. probes go on.
By Sandy Bauers
Inquirer Staff Writer
One year after a cyanide-compound spill into Wissahickon Creek cut off part of Philadelphia’s drinking-water supply, halted recreation on the Schuylkill, and killed at least 1,000 fish, state and federal regulatory agencies have […]

PennFuture is extremely lucky to have so many outstanding members, donors, partners, and volunteers. They hail from every corner of the state and well beyond. Working together, we are able to continue our successful work to ensure that every environmental victory grows our economy.

And who better to help us work toward a just future where nature, our environment, and the economy thrive than future leaders? Summer brings many fresh new faces to the offices of PennFuture, as young people looking to gain real-world experiences working in the environmental field volunteer their time, skills, energy, and creativity in our four locations around the state.

In this podcast, current PennFuture interns interview one another and a couple veterans to get some insights about why they became interested in the organization and our work, and what they did and learned while they were here. It’s a fascinating journey into the world of twenty-somethings, and we hope quite a plug for how rewarding it is to contribute to the mission at PennFuture.

We were a little geographically biased in this podcast, talking only to interns who are working or have worked in our Pittsburgh office. But kudos to each and every one of the many student volunteers and interns we are working with now and have worked with in the past. Drop us a line if we haven’t heard from you in awhile!

If you have an interest in volunteering or interning at PennFuture, we welcome your support. Contact our Director of Outreach Heather Sage at: sage (at) pennfuture (dot) org, or visit our Web site to locate a staff person focused on your specific area of interest. You can also take a look at our Jobs Board, where we post opportunities for employment at PennFuture and elsewhere. We welcome your support as a new member of PennFuture! And remember, citizen action really does work, so check out our Action Center and brand new "Legislation to Watch" section of our site to find out more about how you can affect Pennsylvania policies.

Thursday, June 7, 7:00pm. Sustainability Salon: Green Gardening. Join Sheila Avelin, owner of Big Blue Marble and avid gardener, for a salon discussing all types of ways to have a “green garden”.
