Today’s episode is part of our
ongoing GOING GREEN Series, where we have guests from different
environmental groups and initiatives from both local and state
level, to shed light on why their work is important and what we can
all do to make a difference for the better. EARTH day is every day
isn’t? So we want to give you ongoing knowledge and inspiration to
take better care of the natural resources we all share and
enjoy.
Our guest is Ann Swanson: Executive Director, Chesapeake Bay
Commission. Ann Swanson has served as a leader in the
Bay restoration for 39 years, the last 34 as the
Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, a tri-state
legislative authority serving the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania,
and Virginia. It is the Commission’s responsibility to
sponsor legislation at the state level and to work with state
legislators, members of the U.S. Congress, and the federal and
state regulatory agencies to coordinate programs aimed at
restoring the Chesapeake Bay.
