• Gayle Schueller, vice president and chief sustainability officer, 3M

• Scott Tew, executive director, Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability at Ingersoll Rand

Part 3: Climate change and Minnesota's lakes and rivers

Wednesday is Water Action Day in Minnesota. Huttner and guests discuss how climate change is already affecting rivers and lakes in Minnesota.
