Why do you care about protecting Big Green? 

For as long as I can remember, I've loved playing in, looking at, and sitting by bodies of water. To me, water is a beautiful, calming, reminder that we live on a planet that took billions of years to form. Green Lake is a gift to our community and it is our responsibility as caretakers of the area to protect it, so future generations can experience its beauty too.
