To Congressman Chip Cravaak
U.S. House of Representatives
508 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
VOTE YES ON H.R. 425 Great Lakes
Water Protection Act
I am writing this letter to encourage
you to vote YES for the Great Lakes Water Protection Act so we can keep our
Great Lakes healthy for wildlife and humans. Water is a necessity for
life, so we must do all we can to help protect our fresh water sources by
regulating and monitoring the amount of pollution being put into the Great
Lakes.
According to the EPA, 24 gallons of sewage pollution are getting
into our Great Lakes every year. This staggering amount needs to be
reduced in order to ensure the Great Lakes will be sustainable for life.
Polluting our fresh water affects not only humans being unable to consume
it, but it affects our wildlife that consume it or live in it. Pollution
can also affect the amount of recreational use of the Great Lakes.
If we can't keep our lakes clean, we have nowhere to sail, fish,
swim, and enjoy.
I ask that you stand up for the local
communities that use the Great Lakes as a water resource and vote YES on the
H.R. 425 Great Lakes Water Protection Act.
Sincerely,
Niki Johnson
I have always felt lucky to live near the Great Lakes. I especially love Lake Superior. I am horrified and saddened to think of how much pollution we do to our beautiful and precious resources each year. You've picked a great bill to support. And, your letter is straight forward and clearly stated. I'd vote yes!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really important topic. The great lakes hold so much water and they should be kept clean. I think so many people have no idea what kinds of bad things end up in the great lakes. Hopefully something can be done about this problem. Great topic.
