Protect Michigan's Great Lakes and the environment
House Democrats are dedicated to protecting our Great Lakes and the environment and other precious natural resources for generations to come. Our waters are under attack from big water bottling companies that want to profit from the sale of Great Lakes water. Our waterways and natural areas also are threatened by millions of tons of Canadian and out-of-state trash that are dumped in our landfills every year. House Democrats are taking action to protect our land, air, water and quality of life.
