The Illinois Humanities Council is giving a series of statewide free public programs examining key oil and water issues. All-Consuming: Conversations on Oil and Water has two lectures scheduled in Carbondale and one in Edwardsville this month.
On February 10th (Carbondale) and 17th (Edwardsville), the IHC will hold a panel discussion called Crosscurrents: Ethanol, Oil, and Water in Southern Illinois. The program will begin to answer some of the pressing questions about the Ethanol industry including:
What is the promise of ethanol and what are its limitations?
How does producing ethanol influence the supply and demand for water?
What are the environmental and ethical choices involved in the making of ethanol?
On February 24, the IHC discussion called We All Live Downstream: Whose water is it? will outline the implications of the choices we make within the Mississippi watershed and the Ohio River system on a regional, local and personal level.
Each of the events are free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.
