Hello to my west shore. All you #Packers fans, #Brewers fans, & cheeseheads need to get out and vote in the Wisconsin primary next Tuesday August 11 for candidates that will protect the Great Lakes and work to fund the Knowles Nelson Stewardship Fund. Clean water is life! ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

According to my science friends at UWM School of Freshwater Sciences, if the worldโ€™s population jumped in me ALL AT ONCE and submerged, my level would only rise 1/3 of an inch. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ (including these ducks)

Humans. Todayโ€™s 250th celebration is a day to pause and reflect on how to make a more perfect union. There is much work to be done. Liberty and justice for ALL the people. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I hang on to my water molecules for an average of 99 years. Lake Superior is 191 years. Translation for humans = donโ€™t put stuff in the Great Lakes (your freshwater supply) Clean water is life ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

Busy boating week up topside. Please humans be safe. Always wear a life jacket. Keep an eye on the weather. Know the rules of navigation. Donโ€™t operate under the influence. Boater safety courses are way cool as are fire extinguishers & throwable floatation devices. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

The Great Lakes are big, but we are vulnerable to pollution partly because only about 1% of the water is renewed each year by rain & snow, surface runoff, and groundwater recharge. 1% of 6 quadrillion gallons of freshwater. Work harder to protect us,humans ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ
