We want British Petroleum (BP) out of Lake Michigan!
We are taking our lake back! We are the majority - The People have spoken - We want British Petroleum (BP) out of Lake Michigan!
Why is this important?
Imagine this: While walking in the door to your home, the phone rings; on the other end a representative from EPA informs you that there has been a disaster at the BP plant in Whiting, Indiana; something about an explosion and leaking pipes filled with toxic chemicals... The conversation ends with her telling you that you MUST NOT drink the water out of the faucet - the water is contaminated! You turn on the TV and the news is everywhere - DO NOT DRINK OR USE THE WATER OUT OF LAKE MICHIGAN!
I wait for this day to come; all that it takes is one problem and millions of people, plants and animals that rely daily on our lake's fresh water, will suffer. The World will suffer.
97% of the World's water is salt water...
3% of the World's water is fresh water...
Of this 3% fresh water, less than 1% is actually above ground and of this above ground water roughly 21% of the entire worlds fresh and above ground water lies in the Great Lakes.
We must do everything we can to preserve the world's resource! Please act now and say NO MORE TO BP IN LAKE MICHIGAN!!!
Water is our most precious resource. We must defend the defenseless and defend ourselves. Big money corporations look out for their pocketbooks, not for the protection of the environment. We are not going to sleep on this issue any longer. We, the people, are waking up NOW!
