No Pure Water, No “Pure Michigan” – Sulfide and Uranium Mining Dangers

Our treasurer, Duncan Campbell, was published in the Traverse City Record-Eagle this week. The focus was how if there’s no Pure Water, there can’t be a “Pure Michigan.”

There was a couple key takeaways in this piece, but one of them is that our water is under threat because there’s virtually no safe way to conduct sulfide and uranium mining in such a water-rich environment like Michigan. If we don’t ensure that mining operations are at least 2,000 feet away from our precious water, like it says in the ballot language, we’re putting way too much of Michigan’s present and future at risk.
