The opportunity
Basin government leaders are finally considering a major investment in Great Lakes restoration, but have not yet put forth a specific plan. Accordingly, Great Lakes environmental, conservation, and labor groups have developed an action agenda to help guide those efforts from a citizen point of view. Citizens need to be at the table early and often, working with government parties to see through the development and implementation of a sound Great Lakes action plan.
A citizen response
The Great Lakes Green Book summarizes a citizen restoration agenda for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River ecosystem that is as comprehensive in scope as it is specific in its recommendations. The Green Book is a summary of a more detailed Citizensí Action Agenda for Restoring the Great Lakes ‚ St. Lawrence River Ecosystem, which includes background, precedents and sources for all the recommendations. Both documents can be found below.
