Water Connections
Michigan’s Unique Beauty
The U.S. and the world, are focusing on Michigan as water shortages encroach upon personal behaviors. Water is generally viewed as an available source for the “taking” with no regard to how that water exists or how it is replenished, sometimes not at all.
WATER, MORE THAN VISUALLY APPEALING
The Great Lakes are viewed as a commodity by many; a source to be tapped and utilized.
GET INVOLVED AND STOP THE DRAIN
If you live in Michigan, you absolutely need to support FLOW in protecting the Great Lakes, rivers, inland waterways, and the sixth body of water, the water table, lying beneath our forests, dunes, and shores.
At the heart of FLOW's groundbreaking law and policy work is a demonstration on how to apply public trust principles and make long-term policy decisions that will protect the waters, equitably balance competing uses, buttress the federal government's billion dollar Great Lakes Restoration Initiative investment, and herald the lakes as a living, dynamic ecosystem.
Water, review your own use and dedication to conservation. For those living in Michigan it’s easy to take for granted this wonderful source and abundantly available resource. You live in a very unique landscape; others are eyeing it.
AVOID CONTRIBUTING TO A DRIED UP PLANET, REMAIN CONSCIENCES
Humans conserve only what they love, and love only what they understand.
Broadening personal awareness of ones own senses can bring about a surprising appreciation for nature.
