Dear John,
I hope you’re jumping in and soaking up every bit of summer fun you can. At ELPC, we’re working hard to make sure your favorite swimming holes are safe and clean. Here’s a look at three issues we’re working on:
TOXIC ALGAE: ELPC is fighting to clean up and prevent harmful algal blooms in the Great Lakes that can poison drinking water, ruin habitats for fish, and negatively impact recreation. ELPC’s strategic litigation is forcing the Ohio EPA to set pollution limits and reduce the agricultural runoff that causes algal blooms in Lake Erie.
ASIAN CARP: ELPC is advocating for immediate action to keep out invasive Asian carp. This destructive fish would cause extensive ecological and economic problems throughout the Great Lakes region.
GREAT LAKES FUNDING: When the Trump administration tried to cut funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative three years in a row, ELPC fought back and won! Funding was restored, and now we’re pushing for increased support to protect our beloved Great Lakes.
We need your help to keep up the fight and hold our government accountable to the law and the environment. Donate today and double your impact!
