Protecting our water resources since 1972
My good friends at Clean Water Action are having their annual award ceremony tomorrow night and I wanted to make sure you knew about it. As Clean Water Action’s Michigan State director Nic Clark puts it: “Water literally defines our state and is integral to protecting our Great Lakes way of life. This week we take the time out of our busy schedules to recognize the tireless dedication and commitment of several great Michiganders who fight to protect our vital natural resources.”
Here are the details:
