Gov. Timothy M. Kaine will speak tonight at Old Dominion University on his Renew Virginia initiative on energy and environmental policy.

The speech, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Webb Center, is free and open to the public. It is the latest in a series of lectures on environmental issues called the Blue Planet Forum.

Seating is limited, so organizers at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation ask that would-be attendees RSVP online at www.cbf.org/blueplanet, via e-mail to blueplanet@cbf.org, or by calling (757) 622-1964.

ODU asks attendees to park in the 49th Street Garage on campus, and the governor's staff requests audience members be in their seats by 6:45 p.m.

The Blue Planet Forum is sponsored by the Bay foundation, ODU, Nauticus and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Vague title

The title for this article is really vague. For those that don't know, the purpose of the talk tonight was about cleanup efforts in the chesapeake bay. This wasn't about broad-scale environmental issues. Though, in full disclosure, I did not attend and some broader issues may have been raised, but all the same it wasn't the purpose for the event.
