Clean Water ACTION!!!!!

I started a job at Clean Water Action this week, and it's been a lot of fun. I'm totally ripping this line from a coworker, but I came for the job and am staying for the people. Also, it's been tiring as I try to recover what were once my legs from these gelatinous twigs that replaced them over the winter. The organization is an environmental non-profit founded as a result of the Clean Water Act back in '72, so it's pretty well established, and we're doing great work all the time to keep the Great Lakes and Michigan's freshwater resources clean. Right now, we're working on putting pressure on Governor Snyder and DTE Energy to adopt more renewable energy. We still get about 60% of our power in Michigan from coal, and it's the greatest source of Mercury in our water. You should totally donate. Also, if you're a Michigander (or even if you're not and would like to speak your mind, anyway) contact Governor Snyder and let him know you support increasing clean energy. We are also working to improve infrastructure around Lake St. Claire to deal with stormwater runoff. Any time it rains heavily (like my observation day for CWA, in which I was peeling my materials from my clipboard and wondering when the dilophosaurus would show up), all of the trash, oil drippings, fertilizer, etc. ends up washed down storm drains into Lake St. Claire. Help us put in porous pavement, rain gardens, and rain barrels to keep the lake clean! Again, we'd love your support!

What did you expect? Potty mouth and sarcasm? This is serious!
