The Great Lakes are part of the global commons (a shared entity) and are a public trust. The Great Lakes hold nearly 20 percent of the world's freshwater and 95 percent of North America's freshwater. They provide drinking water to 40 million people in surrounding areas.
Fracking is a threat to the drinking water of current and future generations, public health and the Great Lakes ecosystem. Help protect the Great Lakes and act now! |
