            GLIN's February Site of the Month is OurWaterlife.com which promotes Waterlife, a feature-length documentary film that follows the cascade of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The film and its interactive website highlight the dangers of taking water for granted, and illustrate how the Great Lakes are under assault by toxins, sewage, invasive species, dropping water levels and profound apathy.
