Students are invited to join Central Sustainability for a screening of the adventure/conservation documentary Troubled Water in celebration of Campus Sustainability Month. 

Following the film, one of the filmmakers and representatives from Michigan Climate Action Network and Oil & Water Don't Mix will break down the status of the pipeline and how you can get involved to protect the Great Lakes and climate from this dangerous pipeline.

Troubled Water chronicles a 36-day, 425-mile journey on standup paddleboards along the Great Lakes. The film is directed by Davis Huber and produced by William Wright and Chris Yahanda. The idea was sparked by the three friends on their summer paddle trip down Michigan’s west coast.

These lifelong friends couldn’t help but wonder, “How can any Michigander stomach the risk of an oil spill on this coastline?” Inspired to do something, they created a film to shed light on the manmade impacts of Michigan's freshwater, including the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline, which carries nearly 23 million gallons of crude oil and natural gas liquids daily beneath the Straits of Mackinac.

This is a great way to raise awareness of the risks of the aging Line 5 pipeline.
