Protecting "Pure Michigan"

I’m a father of 3 and an avid runner, having run in countless marathons from the Bayshore in Traverse City to the Boston Marathon. To me, there’s no better way to enjoy “Pure Michigan” than by lacing up my shoes and hitting the road for a run with my kids. But there’s something threatening our Pure Michigan legacy – power plant pollution. Join me in protecting our health
Jack Luna GLAC 2013
and our Great Lakes by submitting a comment to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)!

You might already know that power plants, and coal plants specifically, contribute to global warming and pollute our air. But did you also know that power plants are the worst water polluters in the country? Power plants contribute more than 50% of the toxic water pollution in the US, dumping billions of pounds of pollutants like mercury and arsenic into our water each year. Talk about threatening “Pure Michigan”.  There’s good news though – the EPA has just proposed long-overdue power plant pollution standards to limit the amount of toxic metals and other chemicals that can be dumped in our water. You can join me and support Clean Water Action’s campaign to reduce toxic discharges by urging the EPA finalize a strong rule to protect our rivers, lakes and streams from toxic power plant wastewater.

Our Priorities

Built By Michigan

  • Built By Michigan

    Electric cars are the future of the automobile industry and a key to innovation and leadership in technology and manufacturing in the 21st Century. Our state pioneered the auto industry and now we are at the vanguard of its future.

Clean Energy Now

  • Clean Energy Now

    The Clean Energy Now campaign formed in response to the "Coal Rush of 2008," during which eight proposals for new coal-fired power plants were put forward. We have been successful to this point in preventing new construction, but we need to remain vigilant and keep the pressure high on our elected leaders. 

Children's Environmental Health

  • Children's Environmental Health

    Protecting children from pharmaceutical lindane, working to ban the flame retardant, deca-BDE, working to promote alternatives to PBDEs, flame-retardants that are rapidly accumulating in our bodies and the Great Lakes, have been found to be toxic to animals and may threaten our own health are all part of our Children's Environmental Health Campaign
