Episode 23: The Challenges Faced by Lake Erie. An Interview with Sandy Bihn

People think like this:  If it is not in my “backyard” and not affecting me and/or my family, I really do not pay much attention to it and really do not care. Well, this is an issue that impacts at least 12 million of you. That’s how many of you get your drinking water from the Lake Erie water shed. 

Do you care about your health? Do you care about the quality of your drinking water? You should care enough to listen to this podcast. 

Lake Erie is like the canary in the coal mine when it comes to the health of the Great Lakes. More than 30 million people rely on the Great Lakes for drinking water – 10% of the U.S. population and 30% of the Canadian population. Without safe drinking water, many of us are doomed.    

In this episode, our host, Tim Jordan, interviews Sandy Bihn, one of the most knowledgeable people about the current challenges facing Lake Erie. Listen and learn!
