THE NEED

We're fortunate to be a Great Lake state, with ample fresh water throughout, available for myriad purposes. Water conservation, quality & accessibility issues are headlines all over the world daily. Even Michigan has instances of water polluted with lead in Flint & Benton Harbor; a prior significant oil spill in our Battle Creek rivers; and ongoing community water boil advisories for occurrences of temporary contamination.

In, A CONNECTED PLANET, WHERE:

  • Household or industrial trash and waste are sometimes dumped in the water

  • The ingredients for food & beverages are sourced from everywhere

  • Droughts or flooding may affect water availability or quality

  • Ships may unintentionally spread invasive species

  • Diseases can be spread quickly by travel & contact
