It seems like we just printed our first issue of Natural Awakenings magazine for October 2010. But it’s been a year, and we are happy to be celebrating our first anniversary. We want to thank you, our readers, advertisers and distributors, for your encouragement and support in the last year. And, we ask your continued support as we move into our second year of publishing Natural Awakenings. This month, we focus on one of the most basic and important things in life—water. As the world’s population grows and pressure increases on our natural resources, reliable sources of fresh water become an ever more precious resource. Many environmentalists and economists predict future wars will be fought not over oil, but over water rights and holdings. How does that affect us here in the Chicago area, where water seems plentiful? The Great Lakes are part of the largest freshwater ecosystem on earth, encompassing 18 percent of the world’s available surface freshwater (and 95 percent of that in the U.S.) contained in 6 quadrillion gallons of water. The lakes define our region, economy and culture. Formed 10,000 years ago as the glaciers receded, the lakes directly supply drinking water to more than 26 million people. Another 11 million tap into underground wells that are part of the Great Lakes drainage basin. That’s a lot of water! But is it really? As water tables deepen due to droughts, agriculture and population growth, many communities are viewing the Great Lakes as a possible resource. Companies are currently investigating commercialization of Great Lakes water for profit. Potential ventures include expanded bottled water operations, Midwest water sales outside of the Great Lakes basin and pipelines to California—even selling water to China! The choices we make today in water use and regional planning will affect the Great Lakes ecosystem for generations to come. We urge you to do your own research, check out books like Dave Dempsey’s Great Lakes for Sale and seek out research from experts like Chicago’s own Alliance for the Great Lakes (Great Lakes.org). To help you get started, our lead story reviews the global status of water supplies and asks you to take a look at your own personal water use footprint. Wendy Cullitan interviews local author Loreen Niewenhuis about her Lake Trek around Lake Michigan, and Gail Goldberger reports on the Openlands Preserve at Fort Sheridan. If green is more your passion, be sure to read our interview with Daryl Hannah, who shares her experience in living off the grid. Thank you for reading and sharing Natural Awakenings with your friends, family and colleagues. We ask that you please shop our advertisers for their wonderful products and services, and thank them for advertising with us. Here’s to another fabulous year! Peggy Malecki and Jim Irwin
