Lake Michigan is the source of our region’s drinking water. Preventing plastic pollution is critical to keeping our drinking water safe. Join Alliance for the Great Lakes for a VIRTUAL discussion of new research findings on increased plastic pollution in our waterways, as well as innovative solutions. We will discuss new, cost-effective strategies — from washing machine microfilters to reuse and other sustainable solutions – and will answer questions from attendees.
