Mission Statement:

“To create societal change at the level of the individual cultivated and nurtured through outreach activities, educational campaigns, and regional efforts to reconnect people to the Great Lakes and local drinking water.”

Water has been called the “new oil” as shortages increase, but there are numerous reasons to pay attention and protect what we have. Alone, the Great Lakes contain 84% of North America’s fresh surface water and 21% of the world’s fresh surface water. Protecting one fifth of the fresh surface water in the world is a critical step in moving sustainability into the future and ensuring future generations have clean, fresh water.
