Brian Thomas talked about the lack of, and need for, leadership to get serious about water conservation in Metro Atlanta, Fitz Randolph, Concerned Citizen, talked about the measures he’s taken at home to use water efficiently, and Joe Cook, Coosa Riverkeeper, talked about the need for metro Atlanta to get serious about water conservation and the impacts Metro District’s lack of action is having on downstream communities. The media included: NBC-WXIA 11, ABC-WSB 2, Fox 5, CBS-WAGA 46, Georgia Pubic Radio, the AJC, Capitol Impact, Insider Advantage, Associated Press, Fulton Co. Daily Report, and Dave Williams who’s published in the Gwinnett Daily Post, Albany Herald, and others. A great turn out from GWC partners and friends including Rep. Debbie Buckner and Carolyn Hugley. Also, a press rep. from the Governor’s office and Michael Paris from the Council for Quality Growth were in attendance.
