Webinar: Plastic Pollution in Lake Michigan – New Findings & Innovative Solutions

May 10, 2024 @ 11:00 am 12:00 pm CDT

Lake Michigan is the source of our region’s drinking water. Preventing plastic pollution is critical to keeping our drinking water safe.

We will discuss new, cost-effective strategies — from washing machine microfilters to reuse and other sustainable solutions – and will answer questions from attendees.
