ary/Town%20Hall/Gary%20Wilson%20150.jpg> Michigan Citizens for the
Environment and Nestle Waters recently settled a legal battle. In the
compromise of Nestle agreed to limit pumping to 218 gallons per minute
instead of the 400 gallons they wanted. With little support, even from other
environmental organizations, and funding that would not compete with a huge
corporation, this small non-profit was able to help protect Lake Michigan
water.  Gary Wilson celebrates their success and shares his insights on what
we can learn from this episode.

"But this day belongs not to them, or Michigan's elected officials who
quibbled and flip-flopped to make it easy for Nestle, but to the valiant
citizens of Mecosta, Michigan. They had the courage of their convictions and
did more to preserve Michigan's water resources than we may ever know."
