Our precious Great Lakes are in trouble. Pollution, invasive species, habitat destruction, and record low lake levels are severely threatening the Great Lakes. As the demand for water grows in other states, it is important that we support the Great Lakes Compact, as passed by the Ohio House of Representatives and four other states, to protect and conserve our greatest resource. We must act now while we still have a chance to protect this vital resource. We can't take the security of our water and this fragile ecosystem for granted.
Now, more than anytime in recent memory, we have a chance to guarantee the long-term protection and sound management of Great Lakes water, ensuring that these treasures are not sold to the highest bidder and that they are protected for generations to come.
You can help by signing the petition and adding your own reasons why you care about the Great Lakes and Lake Erie.
We, the undersigned, are asking for your support of the Great Lakes Compact. As the demand for water grows in other states, it is important that we support the Great Lakes Compact, as passed by the Ohio House of Representatives and four other states, to protect and conserve our greatest resource. We must act now while we still have a chance to protect this vital resource.
Our precious Great Lakes are in trouble. Great Lakes water plays a crucial role in our region's economy and in our daily lives whether it's the water we drink, the water that supports manufacturing and power plants, or the special times and places we enjoy with our families on the Great Lakes. Pollution, invasive species, habitat destruction, and record low lake levels are severely threatening this fragile resource. We can't take the security of Great Lakes water for granted.
The Great Lakes Compact is a balanced plan focused on protecting the Great Lakes and the Ohioans who depend on them. Last-minute efforts to modify and derail this plan by a few misinformed legislators place the future of our region at risk.
The time for hesitation is behind us. Already, four of the eight Great Lakes states have officially supported this plan as have the Ohio House. The time for responsible leadership and action is now. Our precious water resources and the future of our region are at stake. We urge you to fully support the Great Lakes Compact as passed by the Ohio House of Representatives and four other states, today!
