As WEAL celebrates Earth Day 2025, which is themed OUR POWER OUR PLANET, we invite you to a PowerPoint presentation focusing on the transition to renewable energy with air, water, and soil. Dr. Marissa Jablonski will debunk false eco-beliefs around energy and explain eco-action and messaging so audience members have strategies to influence environmental change at home and in society. She will go over solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal- as well as battery storage.

Dr. Jablonski is an accomplished water engineer, environmental advisor, and plastics-reduction expert whose work has touched more than 45 countries. She previously served as an environmental advisor to the US Government and started her career in international environmental engineering with a focus on creating sustainable processes for rural communities and urban companies.

Jablonski is the Executive Director of the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin.

The event is free and open to the public

The DNR just burned the uplands and wooded area along highway I. It’s pretty incredible! It will be wonderful to see what wildflowers and grasses will appear in a few weeks.

It is with great sorrow that the Board of Directors of WEAL announce the passing of a longtime member of the organization, Laurie Longtine.

Laurie was a staunch advocate for the conservation of our natural resources and felt especially protective of the Great Lakes. She spent countless hours working with the Great Lakes Compact Coalition, a group of conservation organizations working to secure a multi-state and country treaty to protect the use of great lakes water. She spent many hours as a board member and volunteer for the Waukesha County Environmental Action League advocating for sound land use practices and waste reduction efforts. She also worked with the Waukesha County Land Conservancy to help protect Waukesha’s best remaining wetlands and natural spaces.

Laurie passed away on January 31, 2025.
We will miss her dearly.
