Meeting
The Great Lakes hold
one-fifth of the world’s freshwater supply and currently provide drinking
water to over 42 million people.
Yet each day, our Lakes are damaged economically and ecologically
by untreated sewage, toxic pollution, and invasive species. Furthermore,
residents fear water turnoffs. Unless we invest in a solution today, the
price we pay tomorrow will
be much higher and future generations may never experience our lakes and rivers
as we know them. Join us in being part of the solution!
