The Future of Lake Michigan ft. Tara Jagadeesh
We hear so much about climate impacts on the coasts, from wildfires and droughts in the west to hurricanes in the south and east. This episode, we veer out of our West Coast comfort zone and talk about things that are going wrong over in the Midwest. We're joined by our friend and Chicago native Tara Jagadeesh, who works with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. She talks to us about the threats facing Lake Michigan, including fluctuating lake levels, coastal erosion, and the extreme lengths Chicago has gone to rid itself of its sewage. Sit back, crack a beer, and enjoy as we explore a topic you've probably never thought about (we definitely haven't).
