Today, we revisited some stories about our pleasant peninsula, and people working to preserve it. We heard about a push to ban plastic bags in Michigan, and checked out an art exhibit made entirely of plastic bags. Then, we spoke to folks working to protect and chaperone lake sturgeon as they make their annual trip back to their spawning grounds. Plus, a look into the life teeming in Michigan's vernal pools.
