It seems like we keep hearing bad news about the Great Lakes lately. Huge harmful algal blooms in parts of the lakes threatening public health. Invasive Asian carp approaching Lake Michigan. High amounts of tiny plastic pieces in our water. Attempts to roll back crucial Great Lakes protections. It's easy to get down when you only hear bad news.
But you know what? The Great Lakes region is 40 million people strong, and we won't be deterred by the headlines. Our summers are the time when we celebrate water. And there is no better time than now to stand up for the lakes, clean water, and the future of our communities.
Protecting the lakes starts with you, in your neighborhood and at your favorite lakefront spot. Pledge today to stand up for the Great Lakes and all that they offer.
My Pledge:
This summer, I will protect my Great Lakes by taking action as a volunteer, advocating for the lakes, or sharing why the lakes are worth protecting.
