Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Joins EcoWatch to Announce Launch of Nationwide News Service Website

Watch the Live Webcast of Keynote Address on October 27th, 2011 at 3 p.m. EST at: http://www.ecowatch.org

EcoWatch, in partnership with Waterkeeper Alliance, will host a public event along the Cuyahoga River to celebrate the launch of their nationwide news service website with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., founder and president of Waterkeeper Alliance, as keynote speaker.                                                       

The website—www.ecowatch.org—goes live the morning of Oct. 27 and will work to unite the voice of the grassroots environmental movement and mobilize millions of Americans to engage in democracy to protect human health and the environment.

The website will expand EcoWatch’s coverage nationwide and become the first media source to focus exclusively on environmental news culled from more than 700 environmental organizations across the country. The site will showcase original content in its Insights column from leading national voices in the environmental movement, including EcoWatch’s advisory board members.

The news service will provide timely access to relevant information that seeks to motivate individuals to become engaged in their community, adopt sustainable practices and support strong environmental policy.
The site focuses on five critical issue areas—water, air, food, energy and biodiversity—and covers topics including, renewable energy, water and air quality, sustainable agriculture, fossil fuel depletion, solution-based sustainability projects, species protection, global warming, climate change and pending legislation.

“The current assault on America’s environmental laws, like the Clean Water Act, creates a pressing need to educate and engage people to protect our infrastructure, the air we breathe, the water we drink, to provide our children with the same opportunities for dignity and enrichment as our parents gave us,” said Kennedy. “This website will encourage people to be part of the solution and engage in democracy.”

That evening starting at 6:00pm there will be a VIP Reception and dinner with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the keynote speaker at Windows on the River. Music by Tom Shaper and Rob Williams, and Cleveland’s best beer from Great Lakes Brewing Company, along with wine tasting from Laurello Vineyards & Winery.
