In light of the algae bloom crisis last summer, keeping an eye on water purity has become an increasingly important subject. Ann Keefe, the Lake Erie conservation coordinator for the nonprofit Sierra Club, is recruiting and training residents on how to notice and report pollution in local water sources. By spreading the mission of awareness and health, Keefe hopes to minimize the effects of pollution in the area. The Sierra Club is focusing on four types of pollution that are most prevalent in the greater Toledo area: sewage, industrial, agricultural, and storm water pollution.
