Welcome to GLIN

The Great Lakes Information Network, or GLIN, is a partnership that provides one place online for people to find information relating to the binational Great Lakes region of North America. Thanks to its strong network of state, provincial, federal and regional partner agencies and organizations, GLIN has become a necessary component of informed decisionmaking, and a trusted and reliable source of information for those who live, work or have an interest in the Great Lakes region.

Respected across the Great Lakes region and around the world, GLIN offers a wealth of data and information about the region’s environment and economy, tourism, education and more.

The GreenWorks Channel
Pennsylvania's GreenWorks Channel hosts the largest collection of environmental video programming on the Web, covering a wide selection of subjects including recycling, water conservation, land use and air quality. One of the channel's first live events will be the Nov. 30 presentation of the Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence. This video "webcast" will feature Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge awarding more than 50 organizations and companies who have excelled in their environmental performance. The GreenWorks Channel builds upon the success of the GreenWorks for Pennsylvania television program. Both are productions of the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania, a nonprofit organization. GreenWorksChannel.org is produced in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and JPL Productions. Subscribe to GreenWorks to receive updates on the site's constantly changing lineup of videos and new features!
