Tell Michigan Lawmakers: Protect Our Great Lakes From Plastics!
Michigan’s $22.8 billion tourism and outdoor recreation industry is at risk due to rising plastic pollution in the Great Lakes, our rivers, and streams. Over 22 million pounds of plastic enter the Great Lakes annually, breaking down into harmful microplastics that threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health.
Microplastics have been found at alarming levels in every Great Lake. They’ve also been found in fish, drinking water, bottled water, beer, and even in the air we breathe, making their way into our bodies.
To protect human health, the environment, and vital freshwater resources, we must act now. Contact your lawmakers and urge them to take action.
