If you could fix one issue in your community what would it be? I would make sure everyone in my community had clean drinking water.

Lake Erie on target for a huge algae bloom this summer, due to no ice forming, due to high temps/ global warming. Few years ago, Nirthern Ohioans couldn’t drink the water or shower in it for nearly a week due to algae blooms.

There is nothing they can do to stop the algae?

Reportedly primarily from farm runoff draining into the lake. They’ve been increasing filtering systems at the water treatment plants, but farm runoff and pollution/causal factors still contribute.
