Great Lakes near ecological breakdown: scientists

Great Lakes near ecological breakdown: scientists - Yahoo! News

This should be troubling for all Americans - and North Americans, but, I take this personally as having spent the first 35 years of my life in the Chicago area. I am very familiar with the Great Lakes, having spent much time in them, on them, and on their beaches. I also know that the Chicago area is dependent on Lake Michigan for its water supply. (OTOH, Chicago does have a great water filtration system, far better than what we have here in Orange County, CA.)

Needless to say, I certainly hope this unhappy situation can be turned around.
