The 2018 State of the Great Lakes forum on how to address micro pollution.

The mention of pollution in our lakes, rivers, and oceans often evokes images of sea turtles trapped in the plastic rings that bind aluminum cans together. But while traveling "garbage patches" affect our ocean's, fish, and wildlife, the Great Lakes are experiencing dangerous levels of pollution from the smallest of particles. How can we solve a problem that is so tethered to our lifestyle?
