What do you want Michigan to look like in the year 2060?

We’re asking you to tell us with the release of our draft Michigan 50 Year Vision – a document that attempts to chart a shared path toward a cleaner, more vibrant and sustainable Michigan. We’re releasing each of the six key sections – Water, Energy, Agriculture, Great Cities, Sustainable Communities and Transportation – individually through the end of the year. Please comment in the online forms, or email vision@environmentalcouncil.org

Thank you!

Water Vision 2060

Michigan’s watersheds are the lifeblood of the greatest freshwater treasure on the planet—the Great Lakes. Michiganders treat the lakes as the spectacular resources they are. Impacts on the ecosystem—from the lakes themselves down to the connecting waters of creeks, ponds and groundwater—are eliminated or minimized. All Michigan waters are swimmable. Most Michigan waters are drinkable. Fish consumption advisories due to contaminants no longer exist.
