Excerpt

The Chicago Park District and the City of Chicago announced plans for a petition drive on local beaches to save the lakefront from industrial sludge. The Park District and the City are urging concerned citizens to sign a petition to "Save Our Lake."

In addition, the Park District is asking for volunteers to come out to the 14 locations along the City of Chicago's entire Lakefront this Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22 from 9am to 1pm to sign petitions and/or volunteer to get more signatures.

With the approved expansion of BP's Whiting Refinery by way of state regulators circumventing environmental laws, a considerable amount of ammonia and industrial sludge will be polluting Lake Michigan, the very source of Chicago's fresh water.

"The Chicago Park District works hard to manage our lakefront beaches and keep them clean for all Chicagoans and visitors to enjoy," said Timothy J. Mitchell, Superintendent & CEO of the Chicago Park District. "Clean, fresh water is an essential human necessity that we require to sustain a healthy lifestyle. We are urging concerned citizens to help by signing this petition that helps preserve and protect this valued natural resource, so that future generations can use and enjoy its clean water."  More at the link.

the petition is in PDF and You can print it, collect signatures and fax it back.

The former Time-Life Building is almost a forgotten skyscraper, as its location is more Streeterville than Loop or North Michigan Avenue. Designed by Harry Weese and Associates in 1970, this modern skyscraper features bronze-colored glass that goes along with the "rusty" appearance of the Cor-Ten steel cladding used at Daley Center and the Picasso sculpture. The Chicago Park District has offices in this tower.
