Dear John — I grew up on this small inland lake in Michigan where the loons play and morning paddlers make ripples. Lakes are places where water pauses to create a special sense of place and essential ecosystems. That’s what water does for the world - no surprise that the very cradles of civilization rocked on the banks of mighty rivers. These days, water is as vulnerable as it is venerable. The choices we make about the climate, food, energy, industry and health all revolve around water. The way of the future depends on the wisdom of our decisions. Circle of Blue informs decisions like these with trusted, tenacious reporting. From local PFAS issues to national water health policy to global water/climate accords.
