Lake Eerie (I couldn't make a more obvious pun)

Toxic algal blooms a HUGE problem in Lake Erie.Possibly irreversible. Why was this story front page in the Akron Beacon Journal and not The Plain Dealer? How are Clevelanders supposed to be informed of all the ways they are contributing to the degradation of their water supply? You know, the freshwater supply that is already inspiring political tension by being the most strident example of global resource envy, aside from oil in Saudi Arabia.

I recommend reacting accordingly:
1) Read this.
2) Get really upset
3) Get rational: Tell everyone to stop fertilizing their invasive, non-native grass because it is contaminating the water supply.
