Protect our lakes from algae

Sign our petition supporting legislation to ban phosphorus in fertilizers for lawns and golf courses.

Petition Text

Dear Legislator,

Wisconsin’s lakes are a treasure. Unfortunately, chemicals in lawn fertilizer—particularly phosphorous—have been polluting our lakes, causing massive algae blooms that affect water quality, harm wildlife and prevent people from enjoying activities like fishing and boating.

We should protect Wisconsin’s lakes for future generations.

Please support passage of LRB 09/06761, a bi-partisan bill that will restrict phosphorous in lawn fertilizer to protect all of Wisconsin’s lakes.

Sincerely,
