Campaign Description: Here in Chicago, we’re working with Environment Illinois on a campaign to protect Lake Michigan. The Lake is one of the most beautiful parts of our state. Unfortunately, billions of gallons of toxic pollution flow into Lake Michigan every year, causing hundreds of beach closings and public health hazards. So, we’re working to get the Obama administration to restore clean water protections that will keep toxic waste out of Lake Michigan, by putting public pressure on him to support the Clean Water Restoration act.

Everyone in Illinois deserves clean drinking water and should be able to fish, swim, and generally enjoy our streams, rivers, and lakes without worrying about pollution stopping them or making them sick.
But polluters like mega-agribusiness and big developers are taking advantage of loopholes that allow them to dump into the streams that feed into Lake Michigan. What’s worse is that these polluters are working to prevent our leaders from ever protecting these waterways again.
We need to restore critical protections to ALL of our waterways, including Lake Michigan, and make sure we can do even more to protect them for generations to come. So everyone can enjoy the water that is such an important part of our state.
