Earlier this summer Echo put out a call for Photo Friday submissions, and Terry Heatlie was one of the readers that responded with a photograph taken this July.
The photo was captured from the shoreline of Bois Blanc Island in Lake Huron, located southeast of Mackinac Island, Mich.
Heatlie, a habitat restoration specialist, pointed out that Snake Island, seen in the horizon, actually appears as a peninsula due to Lake Huron’s low water levels.
Of course Lake Huron is low. All the lakes are low. The major bottling companies such as Nestles, Pepsico, etc., are pumping the water table of the State of Michigan, which in turn, replenishes by sucking replacement water out of the Great Lakes Drainage Basin. Michigan sits in the center of the GLDB and when its water table is drained, the entire Basin is drained. The bottling companies are pumping and bottling billions of gallons of water every year and shipping it around the world. They pay nothing for the water, and ask no permission. There are over 56 pumping factories scattered throughout the State of Michigan.
My question is why is there no outcry? Where are the politicians who are charged with looking after out welfare?
I have a Facebook/Great Lakes Drainage Basin page that is attempting to expose this rape of our fresh water supply.
