Description
The 73-year-old twin petroleum pipes that cross the Straits of Mackinac underwater pose an imminent threat to the Great Lakes. A spill from these antiquated pipelines would have a catastrophic impact on the ecology of the lakes and an estimated $6.3 billion impact on Michigan’s economy. FLOW’s legal and policy expertise is critical in this, working to shut down the pipelines with Oil & Water Don’t Mix Partners, by marshaling its legal and policy expertise.
This GCCW-CCESN webinar is sponsored by GVSU College of Education and Community Innovation as a part of its Social Innovation masters program. Open to the public and free.
