Despite our efforts, and the many thousands of comments opposed to the “dirty water rule,” the Trump administration is ignoring the evidence and the science to put our lakes and ponds at risk. Join our activist network to keep up with the latest news and what you can do to keep up the fight.
New Trump Rule Rolls Back Decades Of Clean Water Protections
The new water rule, finalized Thursday, will be "among this administration’s dirtiest, most dangerous deeds,” an environmental lawyer warned.This week’s lake heroes are Sandy and Wynn Muller, a tireless dynamic duo in their ongoing work to support the health of Maine’s lakes. They have been especially active on Wilson Lake in Wilton, where they’ve had a home since 1987. Through the decades, they have devoted their talents, time, and appreciation of science to building community awareness (and taking action!) to protect Maine lakes. Their list of accomplishments is long but includes helping develop education programs in local schools, leading the local Courtesy Boat Inspection program, supporting LakeSmart evaluations, monitoring water quality as certified Lake Stewards, and leading the Friends of Wilson Lake as well as committees of the Maine Lake Society board. They were honored for their work by the Natural Resource Council of Maine this past year as a People’s Choice Award Finalist (pictured here at the ceremony last fall). Their leadership at the local and state level, their encouragement of other organizations and individuals, and their continued emphasis on learning more and doing better make them models of commitment for protecting and preserving Maine’s lakes for the future. We thank them for their efforts!
